Here!

Well I'm still here, reading when and if it loads.

Certainly hope John and Linda are OK.
The site seems to be fine right now.

I have no idea about overseas availability, but Tamiya makes a nice ABS glue:

I wonder whatever happened to TAC (the OP)...he had a lot of interesting ideas and posted quite a bit for a few months in 2018, then disappeared from September of that year. Hope he's OK.

I got in, no problem. From Japan, no less!

Cool design, nice plates!

Sadly, it's impossible to do unless you just keep trying and it slips by...but that is breaking the rules. If they catch it, they'll stop it, maybe confiscate it, or worse.

That's why HobbyLink Japan and other Japan-based net shops no longer offer paints for overseas customers.

Check down at the bottom of the text section, and you'll find links to English translations.
Hope that helps!

The Gunze paints are good. They come in water-based and lacquer-based types.

Gunze is in no way related to Tamiya, however. Two entirely different companies, paints come from two entirely different sources. They are major competitors here in Japan.
