Has Bostic contact adhesive changed ?
 

Went out to buy another 250ml tin yesterday and paid £5.99 for it.

When I got home I noticed that the previous tin still had its
price sticker - £9.49 and I think it was bought at the same store
or another branch of same store about 3 years ago.

Perhaps the almost-used tin was mis-priced in the first place,
or have Bostic fiddled with the content ?.

Since it uses very strong solvents, I wonder how they cope with
VOC2010 anyway ?. The wording on the tin hasn't changed, but has
slightly different warning symbols for inflammable etc.

I think the "glue-sniffer" version containing Toluene was withdrawn from
sale to joe public years ago. The main solvents in modern Bostik seem
to be Xylene and Ethyl Acetate.

Does it perform as well as the older stuff? Evostik doesn't seem to since
the solvent change.

IME yes it does, maybe with a bit of a thinner snot-like consistency ...

Good to know. I need some contact adhesive for a job I'd once have used
Evostik for, so I'll try it.
