GSX550ES Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Building the grandson a card engine shed from a kit, have been using Roket paper glue but have run out. Having difficulty finding any local & Amazon is 7 days delivery, is there another suitable alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Try your local craft shop or just use genersl purpose UHU. Most Tesco have a wide range of glues in the stationary aisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Just use PVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSX550ES Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Just use PVA. I did think of that, but this stuff is instant stick or at least very nearly makes things a bit quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The Range, Homebase, Wilko, Poundshops, etc. I get my big tubes of UHU from Poundland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Instant stick isn't always good. I realise PVA joints need holding together with bulldog clips or pegs but it does give time for adjustment, and will not come unstuck later. UHU is also excellent. I use both on my buildings.

Bulleidboy Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Have you thought about Deluxe Speed Bond? I used it on all of my card kits - it's as good, if not better than Rocket Card Glue. I bought mine from Hattons - they may have a next day delivery service (you will have to pay for it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 @GSX550ES I searched 'Roket Paper Glue', but the search results found me Roket Card Glue from Deluxe Materials. Is this the glue product you are looking for? If it is, then it appears to be a modeller's glue, so I very much doubt you will find it for sale at stationery shops. It look as if you need to search models shops for it, inside one if you have any nearby you, or on model shop websites. Alternatively, you could look for another type of glue, that other user's have been suggesting to you. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMSFan72 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I ordered some off the deluxe materials webstore directly. DHL delivered it next day - that was the Thursday before Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37lover Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 The Deluxe website offers 50ml at £6.65 but UK shipping is £4.10; there's no immediate info stating what delivery service i.e. courier or second class, etc. GNR Gordon; well worth taking a look at the Deluxe website, they have quite an extensive range of glues & other products. PS I use the Roket card glue and prefer it to other options suggested, but each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 That glue seems expensive to me, plus that extra postage cost added on top. Unless you would be placing an order for multiple items with Deluxe Materials, I would rather find it in a shop and save the postage money! 😉 😀 37lover, I will check Deluxe Materials’ website out later. Thank you. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I use wood glue or the cheap PVA from Hobbycraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David12 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 The correct title for this excellent product is Roket Card Glue. It can be purchased diect from cpc.co.uk at £7.01 and has free delivery on orders over £8.00. I use CPC for all manner of items and highly recommend them.

GSX550ES Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thanks all, going to pick some of this up tomorrow https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/gorilla-glue-clear-50ml/p/0485808 if it works then all is good, if not I'll order direct from the manufacturer, never thought about searching for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iliketransport Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thanks all, going to pick some of this up tomorrow https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/gorilla-glue-clear-50ml/p/0485808 if it works then all is good, if not I'll order direct from the manufacturer, never thought about searching for themThat one will almost certainly be unsuitable. UHU is good though, it's instant and works for card.When better glues are not available, it's a good alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHU is good though, instant, strong, perfect for card.When better glues are not available.It's also just a £1 from the pound shop DIY section.
