Richard,
I live near the manufacturer and from what I know about the manufacturer the glue is made in a home based business. He does a batch and I believe that it is also only a side business. It should be available again.

It just came back into stock at one of my suppliers, so Elm City Hobbies will have it back in stock in a couple of weeks.

Go out and find a product called IPS Corporation Weld-on # 3 it is the same or a little stronger that Tenex. and a quart is about $20.00 if I remember right, you can fill a lot of bottles with it. Methylene Chloride is the chemical Weld-on #3 is stronger than Weld-on #4 I have quit using 10X yeas ago with the Weld-on # 3 as its replacement.
