I find little difference to be honest.

I have tried the three or four tube packs from the likes of the 'Poundshop' type of store, the Multi-pack things (about 20 tubes ) and the bottles that you have come across.

As the stuff tends to go 'off' quite readily, i prefer to get the "3 for a pound" type and put the unused ones in the fridge until they are required. The really cheap multi-pack tubes were rubbish, only the first one or two actually worked (they all seem to suffer from limited shelf life). The bottles have proved the better buy but are not so easy to come by, i generally get mine from a show where all the stall holders seem to sell the same stuff.

The "Loctite " brand is very good stuff, is expensive and also suffers from shelf life. I use it only when working a particularly difficult medium such as fixing plastic strip to poly-propelene (drain-pipe).

The current (bottle) batch is branded "Tufloc" and the thick stuff is performing well after five months, i may even get to finish the bottle before the glue runs out!
