esantoro Report post Posted April 24, 2009 Hi, does anyone use DUALL #88 Cement and what's your opinion on it compared to the stuff you can get at Tandy's? I like it. I was using it before Siegel raised the price, which prompted me to stock up on Tandy's old stock, before they changed to a more eco-friendly product and raised the price through the roof. When I need to stock up again, I will return to Duall #88, or I'll try Masters. Whatever I choose, price will dictate. I don't want to pay more than $13 a quart. ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Cornelius Report post Posted April 24, 2009 I use Duall 88 all the time. I find it's better than Barge when working with wet leather. Sometimes I let it dry and then heat it with a hot air gun before I stick the pieces together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinhopkins Report post Posted April 24, 2009 I used Duall for a while, but just didn't care for it all that much. Actually I've gravitated to a product called Van Grip, by Midwest chemical. But I think that most folks have their own favorites, and their own way of using them. We go thru so much glue, that the Van Grip is very practical from a cost standpoint as well as holding power. But you really can't buy it in anything other than 5 gallon pails for it to be cost effective. We sell tons of Masters, tons of Barge. I don't really know why we couldn't seem to sell the duall. It's good glue. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hidepounder Report post Posted April 25, 2009 I keep hearing about Duall 88, but have never used it. I love Barge and Masters, they each have their special applications for me. Is Duall 88 similar? Is it an entirely different animal? Is it a contact cement? And who makes/distribute it? Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd buy enough at a shot to get free shipping. ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilly Report post Posted April 25, 2009 I use Dap Weldwood Contact Cement. I Buy it for about $8/qt. at my local home improvement ctr/hardware store. I've never tried the low VOC kind, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
