Default Where has Soft glue gone?

Does anyone know where I can find Soft glue? I remember seeing it in one of GAC old fly tying catalogues but they no longer have it listed online.

Not sure if this helps or is even close to what your after but I recently got some Loctite Super Glue Ultra Gel, It claims to be as strong as the normal stuff but remaining flexible, I have used it on my braided leaders and seems to do what it claims.

PS. Got it from WHSmiths

Mick, thanks, but Soft glue is I'd say a thinner version of say silicon, you use it to build up heads like epoxy but it weighs less. I used to have a jar of Loon soft head glue which I think is similar stuff, but I remember seeing Soft glue coming in a kit with colours and tinsel.

I have searched the most likely suspects but I can't find it. Can anyone help!!

I use Softex (not available in the UK but could well just be re-branded PlastiDip) or PlastiDip for that purpose
