****Mounting Frags****

[Marcs4020]

I was wondering what everyone is using to mount there frags? I have tried to use regular super glue and Mr sticky's underwater glue (it's a two part epoxy) too no avail. I can;t seem to get anything to "stick". So what is everyone using? If it has worked for you let me know.

thanks everyone,
Marc

You need super glue GEL

I also use Super Glue GEL.

if you are trying to glue the frags under water use the super glue gel put some on your finger rub it onto the rock where you want to put the frag then apply glue to the frag and place it on the spot you rubbed the glue I have found it is easier to glue the frags down if you shut down the circulator pumps while glueing the frags.

if its an sps, i usually dry the rubble the best i can and then dry the cut stalk of the sps and apply glue to the sps base hold it to the rubble for a min or 2 and it usually works. underwater I found to be a little trickier. if you dont do it fast it wont stick IME.

Get the IC-GELâ„¢ It is a super thick cyanoacrylate gel that you can use underwater! Best stuff I've ever used.

I use CVS brand super glue gel. Works great and cheap...

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I bought some of that super glue gel and also some epoxy. Here is the link for the epoxy http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=19245;category_id=2301 I wanted to try this out along with the glue.

thanks again,
Marc

I use the glue gel also for sps frags and soft coral I use rubberbands around 2 rocks with the frag in the middle

Aquamend from HDepot and super glue gel works best. Can also do heavy pieces this way.
