Duall 88 Contact Cement

[jwwright]

Does anyone have a good source for Duall 88 Cement, other than Siegel's ? I use Master's contact cement for a lot of things, but there are a few things that I really prefer the Dual for. Any leads appreciated. Thanks, JW

I usually wait until Siegel's has the 88 on sale and then buy enough to get the free shipping. I've just ordered the xl-8, made by the same company, from Zack White, who told me that the Duall 88 is being discontinued. Don't know if this is true or not.

JW. I don't know if you found a supplier for the Duall 88 Contact Cement, but I just bought some at a place in Kansas City called KONOMA's Distributing 5629 E. Trueman Rd, Kansas City MO. 816-483-9388. They usually do mail order to retail stores such as shoe repair shops etc, but I was in KC and stopped in and got some. I don't remember off hand what I paid, but it seems like it was around $15 - $20.00 for a quart can. Hope this helps. Deb

I've taken Luke's advice and have now gone with Tandy's contact cement. I buy it when it goes on sale.

Thanks for the lead on the 88 Deb. I prefer and use Masters for most things , but I really like the non stringing factor of the 88 for some things, such as cantle bindings. Thanks again, JW

JW,

Try the XL-8. It is made by the same mfgr, and has better holding properties. It has been my favorite for over 20 years.

Zack White Leather has it. I tried a quart but still prefer the 88 or Tandy contact cement.

XL-8 is sold through shoe repair findings companies. I use enough to buy direct. It does not fairly compare to other contact cements. It does take some getting used to, and you need to make a consious effort to learn how to use it effectively. For me, it is far superior to other cements. Its working time is different and a bit variable depending on leathers. After a gallon or two then make a qualified judgment.
