Torque Seal

[denmit]

Anyone know a local supplier of Torque Seal?

 

 

[rgmwa]

I ordered some from Aeroparts. Not sure if you'd consider them local though.

Skyshop has Torque Seal at $4.50 per tube, in a wide variety of decorator colours. Aeroparts is charging $11.00+

There is always the Recreational Flying shop as well at $3.95 or just normal red Nail Polish from the wife which is free (if you are quick enough)

Ignition...there are around 20,000 products and at around 15mins per product to add into the shop properly I would need a full time assistant as the site comes first...just ring me on 03 9444-8025 or PM me anything that you need if it isn't listed in the shop

Hey!!!! Ian !

 

That's blatant advertising. Ban yourself for a week!

 

And red nail polish is sooooo last week. Dark purple is the new red!

I would have bought it from you Ian had I known you stocked it. I am very happy to return the support this site offers. Next time I'll ask you.

A bit of trivia on Torque-Seal. The solvent in it is methanol and ethanol, just in case it goes a bit hard in the tube. Very useful stuff.

If you plan on placing an order to Aircraft Spruce USA any time, they stock it at US$1.95 (about AU$1.80)

 

Comes in: yellow, green, blue, orange, red, white tubes.

For the exercise get a quote for them to supply and let us know the result, I think you will be shocked at the price to ship it

Yes. Postage and Handling on low cost items like this makes the purchase of a single item ridiculously high. That's why it's best to buy from the suppliers who support this website. They spread the P/H over many items so that the price you pay for your cheap item is still lower than what you would pay on the open market.

 

Suppliers who support this website try to keep overheads down and don't agree with putting 300% mark ups on the items they sell. Because of the low volumes involved, most suppliers find that the customer has more ready cash than the supplier.

This probably puts it into perspective, a quote from AS&S re Torque-Seal ---- "This is considered hazardous and will cost a minimum of $400.00 for 1 or 100 tubes" ---- so buying local for 'hazardous' items is the way to go.

That's probably why many aircraft importers just use red nail polish as I suggested...found that out when I bought my CT...they just used red nail polish and it was easy to see if any nut/bolt had moved

Cheap nail pollish is the Go. the cheap stuff makes a good indicator as it's a bit more lumpy and thicker than expensive stuff.

You are on to it Toally87, go to a cheap shop $1.00 a bottle there and if you are lucky there will be some testers open so us men can check for thickness, color etc., etc..

 

This exercise reminds me of the space pen the US spent millions developing it the Russians used a pencil, we do not have to spend a fortune on seals.

You blokes have it all worked out by the sound of it. Wonder if they make cheap nail polish in fluro colours. Reckon that would be perfect.

But I'm an EMO EMU. I've only got black nail polish.
