One place I can recommend for stuff like this is micro-tools .com. I 
have purchased from them, but Brian, I am pretty sure Pliobond is one of 
things they can not ship by air due to flammability of its solvent, and
delivery by ground/ship could take forever for you. They do have a very
nice selection of tools, and camera repair books. I just wish the girl
taking the orders did not seem like a space-case sometimes. I have
always 
gotten evrything I order, it's just that a few of my orders have been 
sent UPS ground when I specified USPS Priority Mail(no flammables), and 
paid for it.
