Any alternatives to Tenax 7r liquid cement people are satisfied with?

Hobby shop tells me supply is kaput. If you come across some you might want to hoard a few.

I switched to ProWeld a few years ago when supplies of Tenax 7 got scarce. Haven't had a problem with it.

I just Tamiya Extra Thin, but Tenax 7r seems easily available online, at least for now. Maybe stock up on it?

I'm with Jesse I usually keep two or three bottles of 7R available (don't seem to have an issue at either LHS up here) but I'm slowly beginning to switch over to Tamiya Extra Thin.

I use lacquer thinner out of an empty Tamiya bottle. You should be able to do the same, with an old Tenax bottle. Super cheap and works great!

The best I've found is Plastructs Bondene liquid weld.

Same Stuff Professional Plastic Welder. I found this as a Great substitute for Tenax...I use it on everthing plastic and havnt had a single problem with it. Best part is the price from Micromart...Grab some and give it a go...

Lacquer thinner will work as a glue?
