I personally use the super glue gel. I buy at the dollar store

Just make sure it's cyanoacrylate gel and you're good

+1 on the dollar store super glue gel. It's cheap and works great

Dollar store super glue gel all the way!! Just fragged a bunch of frags today with only one of the 3 tubes you get in a 1$ bag. Just go bulk up on like 10$ worth and you'll be good for a LONG time

Just regular ole Super glue gel? Does it have to be " Reef safe" or anything?

 

[Netofficer3710]

can you super glue then without removing the rock from underwater? I have never tried

Any cyanoacrylate gel is reef safe, never hurts to check and make sure that's the only thing on the ingredients list since some of the fancier ones aren't reef safe.

It's possible, but since the glue cures instantly when it hits the water it would take about 10x the glue and 20x the time than just taking it out of the water and drying both surfaces...
