I just looked and it all seems to be on Amazon. I guess retail stores just don't care anymore.

Walmart has quit carrying Duco. I heard from a possibly reliable source that Duco's manufacturer quit selling to Walmart because they used it as a loss leader, to the detriment of other retailers.

As for clamping time, I take the clamp off after maybe 5 minutes. Just open the clamp and tip it sideways so any glue sticking to it will break the bond without stressing the feather joint.

I find Walmart's substitute glue to be too thin, way slower to dry and smells like cheap perfume.

I'll find Duco if I have to buy it from Amazon as mentioned above.

I bought 3 tubes on Sunday @ Bear Hardware in Nashville, Indiana.  $1.70 a tube.  They had about 20 packs on the hook.  >:D  You all worried me for a minute.  And GO! DUCO! if the story about walmart is true.  ;D dpgratz

I've used the thick gel CA glue to fletch arrows, with good success. It really stinks bad, so make sure your work area is well ventilted, and don't get any on your fingers!!

I finally found Duco at the Family Dollar store. They had seven tubes. Now they don't! But, I'm sure they will restock.

3 Rivers Archery seems to always have it. I usually buy a tube with every order just so I never run out.
