Title: 5 star adhesives
Post by: 17-09 on April 28, 2025, 11:38:54 am

Hi
Are 5 star adhesives still in business, we used to see them at Warwick and other shows?
The lady who ran it with her very knowledgeable son were so helpful, I used to buy the cyano glue precise tips from them but now
i'm running very low.
Thanks Alan 17-09

Been wondering the same thing, I've not seen him covid hit at least; the company was based in Bulgaria and Runcorn if I remember correctly.

I think there have been some problems. I wouldn't order anything unless someone can confirm that they have successfully done so recently.

Yup, I agree with you Colin. There is a mobile contact number on the 'Post/Payment' page, although the calling times are 7 years old.

I do not know what the 5 star ones look like, but I am using these:

Might be an alternative perhaps, Alan.
