Anyone else having trouble or just me? Gone to use the bovibond type as find it’s a lot quicker but having crap retention after a really good run. I’m warming the blocks up with the burner first. Wondering if they’re too hot and the glue just goes off instantly when I put it onto the block?
do other put the glue on the cow then the block?
It’s like it’s just not bonding together

I find all types we,ve used just gets worse , they must have taken the really good chems out ( maybe banned ) . Some will stay on for ages & others drop off straight away . Glad its not just me .

I’ve had a run of glue cartridges splitting, even when kept warm in the house. Went to use a new large size bovibond, then found the small cartridge tips don’t fit, doh! Still haven’t had the new large screw tips.

Having good run with these, smaller cartridge than most but seem decent value for what's around.

tend to agree I stopped using them because I thought it was going off as I didn’t use it quick enough but using it within 2 weeks currently.
I wonder if foot presentation need to be better compared to deromtec type because there’s less glue With the tube type to fill all the gaps

I have gone from moo glue with great results to being inquisitive and using the winter version of moo glue and having rubbish retention on the blocks, I don't know why I have to change things that were working perfectly fine, have used g shepherd's glue aswell (green)and that's mega for keeping blocks on
