I buy mine at hobby stores for around $8-10 for the 25ml size, if one is close it might be worth while to check.

We used to buy in bulk from a local hobby shop ($8-9/bottle) but then they raised the price to $12+ so I just buy a couple of bottles at J&L on Boxing Day. When I run out, I'll buy the 3-4ml ones from the dollar stores for a buck each and use those when making only a few frags at a time.

Fish aren't my only hobby, I've got other local stores to support as well. If I save a few bucks in the process it's win win!

I love the Ecotech glue and plan on buying another. Sweet having that much at your fingertips (or in my case ON my fingertips) vs the loctite I used to buy (very small tube contained within the fancy squeeze bottle).
