Question UHU Twist and glue

I am down to nothing and need a new bottle of UHU Twist and Glue all purpose adhesive.

UHU Twist and glue-twist-glue.jpg

However, I can't find it in any store around here ( Dayton Ohio. I looked at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Office Depot, local art store..... ).

I purchased my last one in Canada. I even went on Amazon, but it ships from the UK .

Anyone knows where I can get it in person? What store has it?


Isaac

My Uhu twist and glue comes with a Green band, where your black one sits, and all that is black print on your front label is green on mine. I bought mine at Joann, or Michaels years ago.

I wasn't able to find it on Amazon, although they did have a smaller 35ml Minions themed bottle, but only with green labeling.

You could contact the American distributor, Saunders 1 800 341 4674, and see if they allow you to order some(probably the Green, Solvent free version)

Thanks for the telephone number . I will call Monday.


So far neither Michaels nor Jo Ann fabrics carry this or the green version.

USA & Canada distributors

I found this on the UHU web site:

I should have purchased more when I lived in Toronto just a few months ago. Dang!

Dear Isaac:
Can you ask someone in the forum who lives in Canada to buy it and mail it to you? What Canadian stores have the glue? I go over the Boarder once or twice a month. If there is a store in Niagara falls Ont. or Niagara on the Lake I could get it

If you noticed, this seller is in Thailand and I will not get it until June. I saw it and others overseas, but trying to purchase it nearby or have it in reasonable time. If all else fails, then yes, I will order it from afar.

I bet it is too toxic or something to be sold in the USA? I'm willing to try the green version.


Thank you


Isaac

Issac I just noticed this tread. I live not far from the address you mentioned and can inquire but I doubt they have the type you're looking for. Last year I was in the same situation and searching around Toronto returned zero UHU, and I don't count those white sticks which are not good for anything.... and eventually ended up ordering couple of tubes on Amazon from the UK. Cost was around CAD 8.00 per tube..

Now I keep those tubes locked up in safe place as part of my retirement plan....

If you find the ones that are solvent free ( green band ), then maybe those are available in Canada. I can't even find those in the USA.


Let me know


For now, I'm OK. One of the forum members sent me a small tube and I will be OK for a few months



Thanks

Isaac

I think I need to try this UHU stuff. Erik suggested it too as sometimes my formers show through my paper and it may be helped by using a solvent based glue. Maybe we can find something similar here...
