Find Best Price at Amazon"I have used my hands to spread lots of things from elmers glue to jb weld. I noticed immediately that I couldn't simply rub my fingers together to "roll" the material to get it off, like you can with most glues. Now I had this satanic cement on my hand AND the paper towel had created a horrid mesh of filth that was resistant to every product known to man. I spent a minute yanking and finally got the towel off and saw the sad reality that all that pulling had made ZERO impact on removing any of the gunk. I started yelling for my wife and begged her to google this filth in order to find a solution....you know....since I couldn't use my phone for lack of having a second hand. I went and sat down on the couch dejectedly and turned on Season 5 Episode 4 of Dexter to make me feel better....although it didn't help much. I really needed to go to bed so I hit the shower and tried to wash my body with my brand new plastic hand. Even if the label on the back does say that simple rinsing of water and soap will solve the issue."
"This is a great product, a little bit tricky to use, wear heavy gloves when uses and think twice before your apply because there is no easy way to remove it also when it came in contact with other materials like concrete, wood or paint it can show up on a dark ugly color, as i said before wear gloves and protect the area you don't want to mess up."
"Filled very large holes in the exterior wood of a house ( temporary fix, Guests were on the way and no time to do proper wood work )."
"This stuff works great buy I can't emphasize this enough."
"Before I bought this, my life had huge gaping holes, especially under the patio door sill."
"Gap filler dries SOLID and white."
"The name says it all, it is "Great Stuff" I had a leak between the deck cover at the back of my house in front of the entrance door that nothing seemed to even partially fix."
"In the photo I tossed the snozzle in the bin I was filling for a reference on size versus the snozzle."

"I don't have as much need for some of the components, but it is a solid starter kit for anyone getting into the system."
"The bottles do clog over time and there isn't enough activator for the amount of glue supplied in kit."
"But the convenience of having multiple viscosity types plus the activator in the same kit...a big plus."
"My personal usage: Gel: easiest to apply but if you are not careful, the activator may set the glue before you have pressed the parts fully together."

"I was in a hurry and ordered this brand rather than the other USA made brand I typically get, since The Gaffer Power tape seemed like a deal and had great reviews."
"I am not in the entertainment industry but use your tape in my workshop for a variety of jobs and and have even found it excellent for attaching sandblast stencils onto custom items which I make. If the tape will withstand 100 psi of pressurized air loaded with silicon carbide grit, it is really tough stuff."
"One of our helpers just pulled the cable up and the tape curled around and stuck to itself. First purchase worked so well that we decided to keep an additional supply on hand for our next production."
"We have dozens of different types of tape in several locations around our home. If you are used to 3 rolls for $1 department store tape, Gaffer tape might surprise you."
"Having fought duct tape for years (I maintain one of the strongest bonds in the universe is duct tape stuck to itself) I had no issues using this to secure my cables at an event over the weekend."

"Awesome filament, Spool is solidly constructed, and its well with a desiccant pack."
"I ordered the brown color filament to make some toys for my little son."
"As for the filament spool itself, this filament came in a vacuum sealed packaging with a silica pack. It continued to slip and clogged a 3rd time. In the interest of time to avoid installing a new grub gear , I loaded the filament on another 3D printer that just recently I had replaced the gear on. Again, on the second printer the issue recurred and this time, the filament clogged and had bound to the inner PTFE lining of this printer. After cleaning both Printer clogs, I really wanted this filament to work given the price, but unfortunately given the issues I experienced I cannot recommend this PLA filament to other 3D makers."
