Haven't been on recently as I haven't been making any pens recently. I haven't been able to get to my local store, as he is retiring and roadworks has closed most direct routes and have a long detour To get there. On another note all my glue was solid as I hadn't done anything for the past year and that cold weather spell didn't help. I prefer to use Titebond as it foams up to fill in any gaps between tube and blank. Can anyone advise a similar type of glue which is available probably in a builders merchants¿??

There is a white and brown Gorilla glue and was told that one of them foams up like Titebond.
Would you happen to know which one??

I’ve used the brown which foams up. I now use a gap filling glue which I got off my grandson. It’s used to glue flooring to the joists.

I use the brown gorilla glue and store the bottle upside down it normally lasts 6 months now because I only make pens on commission. BeforeI used to use a bottle every month or so when I was making pens in quantity .
