I just bought Bob Smith 30-minute epoxy at Hobby Lobby today. (I assume you have HLs near you?) List price $10.99 (4.5 oz. bottles), but used the 40% off to get a good deal on it.

I also bought another Estes Booster-55 for 99 cents. These make a decent fin unit for a cheap BT-55 sized rocket (rather than as a booster unit for one of 3 Estes ARF/RTF rockets, and rockets that I don't really desire to purchase). I tend to use these with old D12 motors to verify that the pack is OK. It seems like every time I go into HL, they have 1 or 2 of these on the shelf for 99 cents. I would have though tthese would be sold out by now. Is Estes putting them out there, intending to be sold for 99 cents, but instructing HL to only put a couple out at a time?

The nearest Hobby Lobby is actually not so close to me. Was easier to just order from Amazon. I eventually ordered the Great Planes 30 minute epoxy, should have it on Wednesday.
