is STICKNBOND the new ETERNABOND

[femailyetti]

I went to a privet RV repair shop, and to camping world in Kissimmee to day. Both had a product called STICKNBOND. they both said it the new name for eternabond. The eternabond web side doesn't say anything about sticknbond, but other web sites say its the same thing. Is it the same thing???

I'm updating this thread to to provide the definitive answer to the "EternaBond/StickNBond" question. Below is my message to EternaBond using their website contact form, and their response below it:

Message:

Is the "Sticknbond" product sold by Leisure Time Marketing the same "Eternabond" product we've come to know and love for many of our RV sealing needs over the years? There is much discussion on the RV forums about this new Sticknbond being sold by various vendors including Amazon, and whether it's an Eternabond knockoff. Can I get a definitive answer right from source? Thank you from a loyal customer for a great product!

And Eternabond's reply:

Hello Dutch,

Thank you for your inquiry! Here is the double sided answer:

StickNBond is indeed EternaBond downpacked for smaller kits and ease of use for small projects, when purchased through Leisure Time Marketing.

However, all EternaBond purchases should always be from AUTHORIZED EternaBond DISTRIBUTORS and their sites, meaning Amazon and Ebay are not always guaranteed to be EternaBond , as we do not distribute directly to them.

I would always recommend checking the authorized distributors section of www.eternabond.com to ensure product integrity/shelf life.

Hope this helps!

Dan

My guess there were exclusivity in the patent for a certain number of years and now it is available under different names.

IMO.

As previously said, Sticknbond is a rebranded version of genuine Eternabond. There's no way Royal would let them get away with selling a knockoff using an identical label, nor would a company like PPL carry the product and say it was Eternabond in different packaging if it wasn't. Their reputation is worth far more than any small additional profit they might make.

The workhorse chassis was designed and sold with the supersize GM motors mounted in the rear.

Exactly, the Chevy 8.1 Vortec mounted in the rear. There were not a lot of Workhorse UFO chassis, somewhere around 500 were built, so I am told. Winnebago made the Latitude, Adventurer Limited and the Destination, Monaco the LaPalma and the Holiday Rambler Vacationer XL, Georgie Boy Cruise Master, Forest River Georgetown, and Rexhall made them. All back in 08 and 09.

RV Business, UFO Chassis

Leisure Time is a sales and marketing company that deals in some of the "As Seen On TV" type products that are usually just someone else's repackaged/relabeled product. That appears to be what they are doing with the "Sticknbond" label.

[darsben1]

Maybe someone else is repackaging the product into smaller sizes and could not get clearance to use the eternabond name

[hypoxia]

I have been buying Eternabond at ABC Roofing Supply under the relabeled name of Mulehide for a number of years.

[Bruce_Brown]

Why? Advertising 101, gets everyone talking new about an old product. This post is a perfect example. :w

Hopefully they didn't change anything on how it's made.

[gbopp]

Yes, why is the question. I understand selling smaller rolls to increase profits. But, why change the name of of a well known product?

STICKNBOND sounds like some cheap junk advertised on late night television...

Maybe Eternabond will start selling salad spinners and cat toys? :B

[jerseyjim]

WHY? "packaged in smaller quantities" like the man said. Hopefully you will buy more of the "smaller". (perhaps at the same price as the former size?)

Follow the money
