  Up until about a year ago I worked at a hobby store in State College, PA
that sold both of these, as well as a host of cyanoacrylate solvents.  I've
seen Ambroid at a few other outlets, but I haven't really looked for Tenax
7R.  If you're interested I can give you an 800 number for the hobby store
(though it doesn't have much of a mail-order business to speak of) or a web
link (to possibly the most poorly-designed professional site you'll ever
visit.)  Let me know.  I'll also check around locally (Pittsburgh) to see if
any retailers carry either of these.
