I went to a general store in the Toledo area with a good tool and paint department. I had used the last of my gel CA glue and had it on my list to pick up a new bottle. The last bottle I had was made by Loctite and I liked it as the bottle had small tip that was easy to get into tight places. I found it, grabbed one and noted that it was $3.99. I was about to move along when I noticed that they had Titebond gel CA on a lower shelf, but for $12.99.
Thought I was a wise shopper for choosing the cheaper one... until something told me to look closer. The Loctite bottle is opaque plastic with little "triggers" on the side of the bottle to squeeze, but you can't see the contents inside. That's most likely because there's only 0.14 ounces in the it! The Titebond bottle is a full 2 ounces. Due the math and 2 ounces of the Loctite would cost you... drum roll... $57.
Ya, I bought the Titebond.
