Super glue gel question

I normally use Scotch brand super glue gel to attach frags (I can get it really cheap at the Target near me). I noticed recently that that've changed their packaging and upon closer inspection, they now list hydroquione as an active ingredient, along with cyanoacrylate. I've looked at some different brands and no one else lists hydroquione as an ingredient. Does anyone know if this is bad? I know it's used in film developing and in skin cream, but I'm really paranoid about adding things to my tank when I don't know what they are.

I can buy other brands, but for whatever reason, most of the other brands are either more expensive or not very gel-like.
 
Hopefuly some one smart will chime in on those chemicals
as for me I buy alot of the cheap multiple packs of superglue gel
at the dollars store or somtimes when I don't feel like dealing
with little tubes I buy the 4oz bottles you get at hobby shops
 
MSDS section on hydroquinone:
Environmental Toxicity:
96 Hr LC50 rainbow trout: 0.097 mg/L;
96 Hr LC50 fathead minnow: 0.1 mg/L Dangerous to the environment. Very toxic to aquatic organisms.

Question I have is to stevejnrc; are the 4 oz bottles you buy the gel type? I've not had much luck with the thinner kinds.
Only brand I use typically is Loctite gel, comes in 10g tubes at HD, but never thought to look in craft stores.

I've used many different brands over the years, and by far, the Loctite works best for me. It seems to set much faster than some other brands.
 
the super glue gel that i use has always said cyanoacrylate on it but dont see anything about that hydroquione. i use the original super glue brand gel, they sell 3 tubes of it for a dollar at the dollar store around here
 
I use extra thick super glue gel from my local Hobby Shop that sells RC supplies. I get it in large bottles for only a few dollars.

I do the same, 3 tube for 1$ not bad, I'm happy with it
 
ive seen a few types recently advertise and say it won't stick to your fingers. this new ingredient might be part of that. I know the brand at my walmart has changed. so im in the market for another type.
