I need to do a bodgie job on an outdoor cabinet, so No More Nails would be ideal. Is it available in Thailand?

Ha, ha. Now that reminds me of a story.

When finishing off our house, the builders were putting some thin, ornate teak beading along the walls. They were nail-gunning it, and the wood was often splitting. I stopped them, and went to the local hardware shop to get some No More Nails, or equivalent. Showed them how to use it, and stood back and watched.

Now, back in UK, the NMN that I'd used was brilliant - stuck within seconds, almost. These poor builders were still pressing the beading in place 10 minutes after NMN application, as the wood was still springing off.

Conclusion - you can easily get it, but the quality is nowhere near as good.

Yup, plenty of 'work alike' products, but never seen actual NMN :)

Personally, I tend to use silicon for sticking most things, does need to be held while it sets but fills gaps well and will glue pretty much anything.

Moving this to DIY.

There's a DIY section? Great.

Will look for it at Homepro today.

For future ref, make sure one buys the Patex PL60 (the expensive 'Solvent' one) and not the PL50, which is basically a crappy silicon.
