Looks like they are part of Super Glue. Pacer Tech. (http://www.pacertech.com/)

Thanks for looking

I use Zap-a-Gap pretty much all the time when I need CA. I've used the odour-less version as well. Good products, I like 'em.

Yup, Pacer is a good brand. They come with a nice double cap, so your glue doesn't dry out as fast. Also, for the amount they give you, the price is reasonable.

One other thing to mention: it seems the store brand ca glues thicken up almost as soon as you buy them, but in my experience, Pacer glue last longer on the shelf... probably due to the cap design.

It's good stuff. I've tried just about every CA I've come across, and Jet is my favorite. You'll just have to find what you like best, though, it's little things like how you end up applying it, how easy the bottle is to spill, and pretty much just how much you like the cap that are going to make you like or dislike the glue. I'd recomment Zap for trying, it could easily become your favorite.

Its good but my favorite is BSI Super Gold. BSI has alot of different types for all needs and ive never had problems.

Pacer is the best value I've found and works as good as any other CA.

Keep it in the fridge before you open it and it will last a lot longer.
Wait for it to warm to room temp before opening to keep condesation from affecting it, (like film, anyone remember camera film...?)
Don't put it back in the fridge opened unless you don't plan to use it for well over a week and it must be sealed air tight.
Moisture will make it kick off... - Mark

I havn't bought any plastic zap since the last bottle I got set up solid two days after I got it. I've been using the cheap no name thin and gel SG's I find at discount stores (2 or more tubes for a buck).
My wife gets into my 'good' SG and clogs the spouts or glues the cap on or spills it on my bench.
:p

After 15 years I know better than to ask why...
She puts up with my BS, so it's a small price to pay.

Well, I think you should get into her 'good' lipstick and smear it all over one of her dresses :eek: Let us know how that one pans out :rofl:
