My CA solidified on me and need a replacement (I should pick up 2-3 viscosities). Tamiya seems hard to find right now. Any suggestions? The “Jet” brand I had came from a hobby shop and I thought it was so-so. Not going by the LHS anytime soon so this will likely be an Amazon purchase.

Anything by Bob Smith (BSI). I never liked the Zap or Jet stuff.

VMS is highly regarded in military modeling circles. There are a half dozen formulations as well as a host of related finishing products. You will have to search for a supplier. It is not always available in the USA because of shipping difficulties. I use Michigan Toy Soldier which has good prices. But brings a new definition to SLOW DELIVERY.  I have an unopened bottle of black VMS CA sitting in the freezer until needed. From Amazon, I have used Starbond and currently use Akfix. In all cases - even supermarket CA - When you have finished for the day, put the CA bottle into the freezer. You will get a very long life. My bottle of Akfix is a few days beyond three years old. It was fine last Friday. YMMV

I did not think to mention the VMS - I use the Flexi 5k all the time. It is fantastic for photoetch and even attaching to delrin. I always have a bottle, but it is not my "daily" CA like the BSI.
All of the VMS products are great. Huge fan of them. Michigan Toy Solider is a cool store as well, they are quasi local to me. Its literally a huge modeling supply shop.
