Frag Glue

[SSalty]

What kind of glue are you guys using for you frags? I have been using elmer's super gel, but I think it sucks.:grumble:

Any kind of super glue gel will work, and epoxy putty from the hardware store will work too. Neither of them work REALLY well, they both kinda suck.

I like the cheap super glue gel that you can get from walmart. Works really well for me. I tank what ever I'm want to glue out and dry it a bit with a towel then dry the rock you want it on a bit with the towel glue together and blow on it for about 15 to 30 seconds and place back in the tank.

I use Krazy glue gel.Sometimes I mix epoxy and gel together.

Super glue gel is what I use but sometimes it takes a few trys to get it to take.

I found something at home depot that was $4 a shot. it was a small bottle of gel that was designed for fish tanks. it starts to harden as soon as it hits water. I take my SPS out of the water for about 5 sec while I goop on a bit and put it back in the water and hold it on the spot to be glued for 30 sec and it is stuck tight. good stuff. When I get back home I will tell you the name

It's all CYANOACRYLATE glue in the end.

Go to any hobby store that sells RC airplanes or RC cars. We call it CA (see aay) glue.

It comes in thin, medium and thick. You can buy a 1oz or 2oz bottle for about $5 or $8. Store it in the refrigerator to extend shelf life. Get the Thick stuff for frags. :Cheers:

sorry it took so long. I have been in the car all day and I just got back from california. Thanks for being patient. It is called LOCTITE super glue gel. I got it at home depot and it was $4.79. great stuff. I used it on several corals and the bottle seems to last for a long time. Put the gel on the bottom of the coral OUTSIDE the tank and immediately put it back in the water and onto the rock you want it on. hold it for about 30 seconds and that is it. Done.
