How do you buy plastic cement?

My LHS is where I get most of my Testors plastic cement for building structures, but I'm finding the single red tubes work out to about 1 1/2 average sized kits per tube. I'd like to try to find a bigger tube or larger supply of glue so I wouldn't have to keep running to the hobby shop every week when a new kit comes in from ebay. I think my LHS has the small (regular sized I guess) tubes of Testors for about $2 each (might be higher, I can't remember) but I've gone through 4 tubes of cement in about two weeks time on three kits. Is there a cheaper alternative in bulk? Or am I better off buying a bunch of small tubes all at once? <br /> <br />Also, it seems the tubes of Testors have alot of air in them, and sometimes not much glue. Anybody else noticed this? <br /> <br />Just FYI, I try to build my structures fairly strongly, and go back and gusset every joint I can reach (mainly on walls and major structural points) with a full bead of glue down the length of the seam, thus my need for so much glue. I know you can get larger bottles of the liquid plastic cement, but I never have liked the results, thus my need for the regular gel stuff. <br /> <br />Thanks!
