You will not find this particular method anywhere else, as I invented it
quite some time ago, and up to now I have only told a few people about
it.

Thanks for the useful info.

According to what I can find via Google, Durofix is a cellulose
nitrate glue just like Duco cement. So I'm guessing we could use Duco
as a substitute?

As for Copydex and Evostick, I can't seem to find any substitutes
that are available in the U.S. Would a simple liquid latex work? Is
the Copydex clear?

Sorry, I don´t know "Duco", but if you try the test I mentioned, you will
soon know if it is suitable.

Liquid latex will work. Copydex is a milky white but dries clear. Any
flexible rubber type solution contact adhesive will usually work, but some
are better than others.

You mean when I manage to permanently stick my fingers together? ;-)

FWIW, here's a fact-sheet on the stuff:

So the problem is simply to identify what to look for here in the
U.S. Do you have any info on the chemical makeup of Copydex? That
might make it easier to find a substitute.

As I wrote, it is very difficult to advise here, as there are now so many
companies marketing adhesive and similar stuff. It may be the same stuf
under another name, or it may not. One´s only real recourse is to try it and
see.

Copydex is synthetic latex. Latex is rubber tree sap, or a synthetic
version. The natural liquid substance is milky white and congeals into pale
brown translucent rubber. UK readers will know it as Copydex, the glue you
should never spill on the carpet!

This multi purpose glue;

Is the best for using on feathers and the like, using the methods I
described, and is available worldwide.

The stuff you need is the UHU extra. In a yellow tube with an orange
circle. This is the stuff that does not drip or run.

This is the second tube form the top on the left of the picture.

Sorry, I thought the URL would link to the exact product, but it does not do
so.

Thanks, Mike. It looks like I can get the UHU extra easily here in
the states. I'll give it a try.
