Default Grab adhesive in screw top tubes

The Medway Handyman wrote:
I used to buy Toolstation Glue Screws in a screw top tube for about a �1 a
tube. I found it ideal for my sort of work, because I only use a small
amount at a time & there is less waste. I carry standard cartridges on the
van for bigger jobs.

Toolstation have stopped doing it in the tubes & the only supply I can find
is at Wickes
http://www.wickes.co.uk/Building-Adh...ls/invt/243777
but at �2.79 a pop its a lot more expensive.

Anyone know a source?

During a Google to find some, this came up

http://www.sundaymail.co.uk/lifestyl...8057-20322687/

"Grab adhesive can be used like nails to fix stairs, floors, decking, stone
steps and even roof tiles together. A good make such as No More Nails
should retail for around �10 a tube so it is a handyman's ideal chemical. "

Floors & decking?? �10 a tube?? Are they having a laugh?

I thought at first it was an igorant journo, but this site supports the
claims.

Is this stuff really that good & worth a �10 a tube?


No. Maybe worth 8.99! :-)

I'd guess it's the usual story - launch with a silly price to establish
a "was" price then reduce to what market will bear as a special offer of
some sort.
