Super-glue gel the Best!

I know there have been many posts about this...so one more won't hurt.
I love the stuff. I get it at Dollar General, 2 tubes for $1. I have stuck lone zoos, shrooms, large pieces and even a fraged ricordia that has alomst closed-up in less than 3 days. SUPER STUFF, huh, super glue.

 

I just use the super glue from ace.
5 for a dollar so after each session of fragging I just toss the remaining out.

 

I would not glue mushroom as sticking them to rock will make them immobile. There are methods to have them take to rock naturally.

 

I haven't had any problems and the LFS owner uses it when he frags. He said that the the shroom and also zoos will eventually loosen when they grow and can move if they want.
I have stuck a few shrooms that loosened and blew free after a few days. I think their slime coating will seperate them in time.

 

I don't want to ask a stupid question, but do you remove the coral and or live rock from the water to glue it or does super glue gel work under water? I have heard about super glue but don't want to poison the water.

 

With zap gel, you can do it underwater but you have seconds to do what you gotta do before it dries. It starts drying the minute it touches water.

Ideally, you want to do it out of the water to glue it perfectly well. Putting it back in the water will dry it.

 

Thanks for the info rickzter I greatly apreciate it.

 

I used to glue some frags, but got so frustrated holding the little frags and never staying on in the first place. Now I just place them in little cracks in the rock or they just float and find themselves a home.

 

I have found that there are 2 super-glue gels. One is the regular gel and there is also a thick gel which works so much better. No run ans sticks faster. I place a dolop on frag above water, then place this against area I want frag to stick, work it back and forth a bit, hold for 20-30 seconds and it's there.

 

I have used the gel under and out of the water with great results with both
