Does anyone know where to buy Hysol U-09LV or U-09FL in Canada. Lots of searching online has not been productive.

Thanks
Derrick

I got my Hysol U-09FL from Steve Evans (Suluk46.com). He doesn't have it listed on the site but try contacting him. It has been a few years so I don't know what his situation is now. He's in Canada though, so if he can get it then shipping will be cheaper.

You're welcome!

Actually, this adhesive is very popular in my other hobby which is radio controlled airplanes, so it is easy to find if you know where to look. ;)

Another name for the same stuff is "Aeropoxy".

Hi Bob,

Thank your for this. But I am wondering if there is a difference between epoxy, the products listed on the site, and urethane glue, such as the U-09FL and U-09LV. I have read that the epoxy is less flexible than the urethane, and less suitable for materials like cuben.

What has been your experience with the epoxy and cuben?

Thanks Derrick

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the lead. I contacted Steve but he is without. Depending on the outcome of my epoxy versus urethane enquiry, I may be ordering from the US.

hysol i don't know. but , i have here some little packs of various epoxy types made by Hardman. they make a wide array of blends with differing virtues. might be worth a look.
or, might even be worth calling to see if they have a functional interchange.
these packs are on the order of .5oz ea. so you can carry quite a few of them for not much bother. they are a 2 chamber tear open sort of thing.
it looks like i sourced mine from mcmaster carr.
i was aiming for a low vis/high peel strength product to bond the alloy parts of The Great Polar Bear Perimeter Warning Fence project.

good luck,
v.
