Has anyone had any experience with LocTite 409? I came across two boxes with a total of twenty of the 20gr tubes at a crazy price and I couldn't turn them down.
I would love this to be a great find. Tell me 409 is just like 454. It would be great news.

Thanks

Gene

I just found where you can contact LocTite and get an answer within 2 working days. Hope to get an answer from the horses mouth by Monday.

By the way Tommy-D, I know what I use accelerator for, but what do you use it for? Just curious. Thanks.

Great Find!!

I stumbled on 409, works for me! But let's keep it a secret..

As it turns out, Raildriver, it should work for everyone that works with cues. Sorry to let the secret out pal.

I wrote to the LocTite corporation and they responded with good news. Loctite 409 is a general purpose cyanoacrylate adhesive gel. It seems that the primary difference between LocTite 409 and the 454 formula is that the 409 takes about 60 seconds more to bond. To me, this does not present a problem unless I am at a tournament and need to keep moving at a fast pace. Not a problem in the shop though. Plenty of things to do while waiting.

The other difference is that the 454 bonds a greater amount of substances than does the 409. Well, again, this is not a problem for those that build or work on cues. Three of the substances that it bonds well is leather, plastics, & wood. Go figure! The bond is stronger on non-porus materials, but is sufficient for our purposes.

I am sitting with 26 of the 20-gm tubes. Those are the big tubes that sell for up to $27.00 per tube. The lowest price I've seen them go for is $18.00 plus S&H. Don't get these mixed up with the much smaller tubes. There is an expiration date of March 2007 so I know I will not use them all by then.

With that said, I will let go of up to 12 tubes at 12.00 each shipped. If you can find them for less, please let me know and I will withdraw my offer.

Payment is by money order or Paypal only. PM me if you're interested. Thanks.

Just 4 tubes left. This will be the last message I post for these tubes of 409. Thank to all that responded.

That's it!

Just a note to thank everyone that purchased tubes. If I received payment by Tuesday afternoon, your package shipped today (Tuesday) at 6:35 pm. All others will ship tomorrow (Wednesday).

Please notify me by PM or email if you have any trouble with your shipment. I don't anticipate that you will.

All available tubes have been bought and I now only have the ones I intend to use. Thanks again.

Gene, I just used the 409 on a few tips and it worked great! The biggest pain is using the pads, I did two tips with pads and no problems.
Thanks again, Steve D.
