Rick- If you can't find it in department stores check your local ACE hardwares. They stock it in my area.

There's a couple different "Dollar Stores" in my area that carry it.

But it's more than a dollar though! LOL!

I suppose the Duco manufacturer wasn't willing to sell it to Walmart for less than it cost to make it.  :saywhat:

They probably quit carrying it because it is the kind of glue people with little grey matter and a desire to have less might buy it to huff and get high.

This is where tradition comes in...the mom and pop hardware store has MOST everything I need for a project, in bulk I go to Menard's (started as mom/pop).
DUCO is available for them to order and most small shops are more than willing to help you out; for your business and word of mouth advertising.
My hardware store of choice is even looking into getting some ramin dowels into the store, cause I ask...
Now is the time to DO things, changing from
'big box' to small town is where we get the things we need, done right.

Wow, I thought my local wal-( chinese)-mart was the only one that quit handling Duco. Thank goodness Lowe's carries it.
Title: Re: No Duco!!
Post by: Fletcher on February 27, 2009, 10:04:00 AM
Thanks for the tips, guys.  I'll check them out.  I know my Menards doesn't have Duco and last time I checked the Lowe's here didn't either.  I'll find it someplace.  I agree on the Chinese and small box sentiments.  That's the main reason I'll be sticking to TrueFlight feathers for my arrows.

I get my Duco at True Value Hardware.  They even have it in a twist cap bottle instead of the tube if you want it that way.

The Wallmart I go to got rid of their hobby dept and told me they quit selling Duco, I found it in hardware with the rest of the glues..PR

Will Duco stick to Poly coated shafts and Tru-oil gunstock finish?

Dixie, Duco works great with both oil and water base polyurethanes.  I haven't tried Tru-oil, but have heard it works with that as well.

If it's in your local Wal Mart, you need to buy more or the computer will say unh uh and won't reorder it. If there are 2-3 tubes when I go snooping, I'll buy them so they'll be reordered. $1-$2 or so at Wal Mart but way more $ at hardware stores. Better glue @ lumberyard?      ;)

Big rack at our Walmart last week. 50 cents/tube. Shame I don't use it.

Does Duco have a shelf life?
Title: Re: No Duco!!
Post by: Flatstick on February 28, 2009, 04:23:00 PM
Local Walmarts here also stopped stocking it  :(  . It is the only glue I have used for years for fletching wood & cane arrows. They are carrying another brand but I haven't tried it on any arrows yet?
Title: Re: No Duco!!
Post by: Barney on February 28, 2009, 04:26:00 PM
Just bought the last 8 tubes.   :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info. I guess they don't make it in china either. It can't be a hazard problem since they have no EPA over their. I know why no one stocks it anymore! Nothing is worth fixing or glueing back together. Just throw it away with the rest of the junk that comes from out side of the USA. Maybe will start making it in old mexico. Sorry about that rant, I had a rough day..I need to shoot more arrows.
