Well, the glue is the TUFLOC (no relation!! <G>) brand that we sell 
at shows (we buy it in bulk from a trade supplier), and the 
accelerator is the same brand - a sample can that I was sent that 
I've been using at the workshop. It's so good that I'll probably be 
ordering some cans of the accelerator to sell alongside the glue. I 
believe there are various other brands on the market that are 
probably just as good - try a decent local model shop if you have one.
