The best sticky underwater glue

[meshwheel]

Hi guys,
Is there such a hing out there? You know, put a nice size globe on your frag, let it crust over and set it on a rock underwater!
Looking for something.....................:wildone:

I use Super Glue Gel to attach frags to plugs, if that's what you're referring to.

Make sure you shut down powerheads first....i had a fish bite stray glue and his mouth was glued shut for 4 days!!!

Super glue! Stuff "dries" really quick underwater

BSI glue gel, whatever brand/type u get, avoid ecotech glue at all cost! had a freaking hard time trying out squeeze out the bottle.

They sell super glue gel at the $1.00 store for $1.00... (imagine that!)
There's like 4 little glue containers in each which are handy in size. Super glue lasts about 4-6 months before it breaks though, so if you are gluing rocks, make sure to use some epoxy too. The super glue helps with initial "stick" but epoxy is long term. If it's a frag, the frag will encrust and hold its self down so super glue is fine with that. Been using it for a year.

glue, epoxy, glue, in that order. put some glue on the epoxy, stick it to the rock, put some glue on the frag and stick it to the epoxy. It'll hold forever

Nice info guys! Thanks alot! Great tips too. I used the BSI glue gel before and it did work pretty well from what I remember.
The glue/epoxy/glue is a new one to me as well! That one I will try for sure. i just want to be able to put a frag on a rock where I want it underwater in the tank. Hold it for a few second and then let it go and its on.
It's either this or drill holes in my rocks for the frag posts. Which do you guys prefer. I know all too well, get a new frag, it falls of the rock and stresses it out even more! I want it welded on, then watch it grow!

Hi mate, I use Epo Putty, not glue more like epoxy, and as long as its mixed right it does the job. Nearly all the rockwork in my tank, as well as frags etc are stuck together with this.

Mesh wheel, IF ur trying to glue a frag to a rock underwater try this. Put some super glue gel on ur finger and wipe it on the underwater rock where u want to place the coral. Then apply super glue gel to ur frag and apply to the spot where you put the superglue on the underwater rock. It does dry quickly so u need to use more super glue gel than normal. Works great!
