Pure fibeglass or the siliconised version? Look in commercial kitchen catering supplies places (e.g. search for 'catering spares'). An old electric oven will have some in, but maybe not of that diameter.
Get seen asap - I'm no doctor, but if you have long periods at low oxygen levels I believe that's what can damage other bits of you.Judging by how i feel at the moment and the number of people around me that are ill i suspect i have acquired CV19

Be careful using it Andy it's not quicker setting, it's slower than GG. It foams much faster but strength takes longer. I got a bottle on recommendation and ruined a few things before I got the hang of it. It's also much less viscous as well, like warm runny honey.

A wipe with a damp cloth or a light dusting with a hand sprayer on the joint before hand accelerates the curing

Yep that's how I use it (and any PU really) and it's the same as all the other PUs in that respect. It's just not fast at achieving strength.
I'm not saying it doesn't work or is an inferior product, just that the blurb gives you a sense that you can manipulate things you've glued up quickly. You can't, they fall to pieces and you have to wait for a much stronger cure.

A new tent, have always enjoyed the outdoors and hiking and two or so years ago started wild camping as well. We have now reached the point where we wanted a better tent than the £50 gelert we had been using. So after selling some bits and pieces we now have a "proper" tent. MSR Elixir 3, put it up in the dining room in about 5 minutes, incredible amount of space for a tent that only weighs 2.6kg (our gelert was smaller than this and weighed 4.2kg!!). Also the first tent where I can lie flat on my back fully stretched without touching the tent walls, as you can see I am very happy

Thanks for the info. I always give glue more clamp time than stated so on this job I should have been OK, especially as its a large glue area and not particularly stressed. But the next job may be more taxing so good to know. It is easier to apply, the gorilla glue give you a hernia squeezing it out of the bottle even with the nozzle fully open

The bottle is a really nice design with the wee holder for the cap and decent plastic. I was over the moon with the bottle not being like GG's, I get knacking hons after using theirs for a day.Thanks for the info.

I'm thinking I'll try one of the Everbuild Lumberjacks next to get something closer to GG but looking at them they all seem to be much the same as the Soudal 45.

Is it as bad for setting in the pot. Ive not needed to use any for a while. I remember when I first used it circa ‘90, you’d go to use it next day and it was rock hard.

Can't really answer as I've only had this bottle a few months so not a fair test. I would imagine it lasts better than a similar PU because the bottle is a good design and the cap seems to seal well.
I think if you invert the bottle it seals the entrance to moisture rich air better and lasts longer. Never done it but heard it mentioned a few times. Seems like a good way to get goop all over yersel to me but YMMV

I use it and always store it upside down. It keeps well that way (probably over a year) however if any humidity get in it's toast

I think it's basically a "2 part" adhesive with the second part being water from what I understood.
A handy trick if you need to use it as a filler is to mix the glue with some water (just a dribble) and then let is go off a little before using it. I did this for repairing a dashboard which was sponge foam....it means the glue will expand a lot less when used....then I re-covered the dash. It worked ver well....found that tip on the tinter web somewhere (don't remember where).
