Good place for the following products, although they can be obtained at many other hardware stores as well. For me the choice is dictated by location, location, location....

Supplies for working with epoxies. Unfortunately they discontinued carrying my favorite brand of quick cure and wood putty epoxies. But the following materials still are worth ordering from them.
Ordering by phone (when you know the item you want) is easier than trying to navigate their non-intuitive and cumbersome (sometimes plain wrong) website.

 Fisheries Supply Company was founded in Seattle, WA in March of 1928. It was initially located on Seattle’s waterfront at Pier 4, which was later renamed to Pier 55.

Local place that still carries my favorite brand epoxies. Excellent prices when you open an account.

Being in the restoration business I use materials that match the original as close as possible. For glazing compound that means sticking with linseed oil-based wood sash glazing compound. Linseed oil generates heat which aids in setting up.
Check the label of the home improvement or paint store glazing compound. If it doesn't say linseed oil (but rather "vegetable oil" instead) it may take four or more months to set up.
