    I've now had best luck with adding more gel super glue than you would thing. Dip underwater for a couple seconds then bring out until it starts to turn white from clear, then place on a rock twisting it a bit until it "grabs". Hen hold it for 30 seconds or so... Works great.

    You are using super glue gel right?,,I know dumb question but you never know. I take out what piece im going to frag lay it out on table in bowl have towel on table bring main piece out and cut what i want off put main back in bowl dry off bottom of frag on towel and dry off area on frag plug where in going to glue frag and put big good on there hold together for a minute then set on my towel to set up for a few minutes before I put into my tank. Softies I use string or rubber bands rubber bands work great as they almost always split my frag in half and i end up with two :)
