My List of Vendors and Suppliers

Post by Bruce_L »

I will be posting Vendors and Suppliers here that have had the items I need to compete my Badland 103 build.

Beside the obvious vendors like Aircraft Spruce or Wicks, I have located some that have products that I can't seem
to find anywhere else or a vendor that may have a favorable price.

Part of the fun for building for me is the hunt for all the supplies and goodies I will need to complete my plane.

I will add to the list here each time I find something I purchased that may be useful to you in your build.

I hope everyone is making progress on their build!

The manual calls for Hysol 9460 structural Adhesive.

It comes in a 2-part tube system that you mix like any type of epoxy. You can buy the applicator device at Amazon.

Its PRICEY stuff. Most vendors sell it in quarts or gallons! Hundreds of dollars leaving your pocket!

Here is the best price I found. Also, I personally try not to buy glue or paint from vendors that I think that they do
not sell a lot of volume of that product. It may sit on their shelf for years and when you open it to use, it is expired and useless.
All the solvent evaporated, rock hard as it cured in the tube, whatever....

This vendor is a popular large industrial supplier and I bet they sell hundreds of tubes of this Hysol adhesive each month.

Great idea creating this thread!

I can't remember where I bought my 9460 during my build, but it WAS a struggle to find it as I recall.
