    Default Generic Form of Zap A Gap

    I'm looking for a less expensive and convenient form of Zap A Gap. By convenient I mean something similar or generic I can buy at a craft store or a place like Wal Mart.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    CA glue is CA glue. These days I mostly use Krazy Glue that comes in the bottle with a brush.

    What Wally said. If you're looking for something thicker, Home Depot has this:

    I bought this stuff called Liquid Fusion thinking that might work, but I was told it wasn't the same as CA, supper glue, krazy glue, Zap A Gap, etc. etc. I hear that Gorilla Glue makes super glue. Do you know if that's true?

    Hey Scott. I'm looking for something that will soak into the thread heads on my flies.

    +1 and +2 on the bottle with a brush. It works great, and I buy mine in the nail care section of my local Walgreen's.

    I use the Loctite "super glue" instant adhesive, it's in a small yellow bottle.

    I found these at the dollar store, each packet contains three very small tubes with applicators and they're available in both liquid and gel. At 33 cents per tube they're a dirt cheap alternative for those that don't need an industrial sized container of super glue. I use super glue sparingly and rather infrequently, so it seems that I'm always returning to a dried up tube or an encrusted applicator tip that won't dispense the glue without me first performing micro surgery on the applicator tip. These little jewels put an end to that, I use one tube for a week or so, then toss it when I'm done. Next time I need super glue, I start off with a fresh tube. These little jobbers also travel well and don't take up hardly any space and if one were ever to get punctured while traveling, I wouldn't have quite as big of a mess to deal with as I would if I was carrying a two ounce bottle.Dave
