Where to buy buy Gator Glue?

[Jon C Ryckert]

Been looking all over for it. Is it out of production?

[FFG-7]

did you check hardware stores, home depot or similar?

[Jon C Ryckert]

Not sure if those sell the glue that was made by Kenny Loup a few years ago? Maybe the name was Gator Grip?

Here's the website: https://gatorsmodelstudio.wordpress.com ... obby-glue/

You order by emailing him through the Yahoo address there, or on Squadron (currently out of stock): https://squadron.com/gg001/?searchid=15 ... r%27s+grip

Tried the email link on his website, but it came back as the email can no longer be found. Sent an email from my personal email and will see what happens. Will probably also contact Squadron.

I fear for those three or four bottles I have had in storage in NJ for the last three years.
Have you tried MicroMark?

This question came up at my local club a couple months back. One of the guys did manage to get a reply back from Kenny, confirming that he sold the product line to Squadron and that he does not sell it himself anymore.

Now... when will Squadron get a new production run of it? Hopefully soon, 'cause my bottle is starting to get low...

What/ how do you use it? What is the preferred application method?

[Jon C Ryckert]

I stopped by my LHS yesterday and picked up a product from Microscale called Micro Liquitape. Have been watching a few videos on You Tube and I think this may help me when I attach photo etch parts. Thanks for all replies.

I was thinking a wee bit of discussion on uses and application might ensue. You know, model talk.

On the other side of the Pond, in Europe, Gator glue are difficult to obtain and postage fees are [censored]
I've found a very similar, if not the same product by Mig Jimenez of Spain which is called Ultra Glue.
An acrylic water based "cream" white glue, going transparent when dry and which is great for PE, resin, plastic, etc...
Dries in about 20 to 30mn (parts can be repositionned).
When wet, joints can be shaped and cleaned with damped brushes.
I use silicon tip "brushes" to apply. Easy to clean.
Since I discovered this product I (almost) completely dropped CA glue why degrades in hot weather.

Squadron had copious amounts of this for sale at the 2026 IPMS USA Nationals in Ft Wayne IN last week. Newly designed packaging. I'd check their website. If it's not there, email them, they are probably still recovering from the show and haven't gotten it up on their website yet.

I can't help with the original question, however would suggest Mod Podge as an alternative. I Started using this for most PE work years ago and have had no regrets whatsoever. It dries slow so is easily cleaned with a damp brush, and dries strong, FLEXIBLE, and flat.

[Killerbeans]

Would it also work for small windows, lights, etc?

No; not well anyway. It dries clear, but not that clear.

Good to know, thanks.
