Not sure if this is indeed the best place for it, but figure it's relatively close. Please feel free to move this as necessary, Mods. :)
I've been a big fan of this tube putty for over a decade now, preferring it to pretty much every other tube putty I've gotten my hands on. I was quite saddened to hear several years back that it was no longer procurable thru most US Vendors, for whatever reason. So, having just opened my last tube of the stuff two or so weeks back, I decided to do a search to see if there were any US Vendors selling it.
Nope. Not one that I could find. Those that advertised selling it had it on backorder and had no estimated time to receiving any back in-stock. That or they never returned my email. So, I broadened my search and found it online.
So, I wanted to be sure to let everyone know who's used this in the past that you can still purchase it. You just have to get it directly from Hobby Link Japan - or perhaps other sources.
Here's where I purchased mine, directly: http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM87053 (http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM87053)
I ordered five tubes on Friday, February 26th. It shipped on Monday, the 1st of March, from Japan and showed up here on Saturday, the 6th. Total cost was $33.68, including shipping from Japan.
Just wanted to pass that on.
