I brush the area I want to glue to with my saltwater tooth brush. It gets the algae etc. off of the area. Then its just glue, stick , hold for about 20 seconds and release. The glue will set up and the coral will grow over the blob of glue around the base.

and since you're holding it in one place for a while you might want to think of latex gloves so you don't de-slime it (or leave any unwanted skin oil).

Not always as easy as it sounds, as the gel will sort of "setup" once it hits the water so not really that easy of a thing to do. I hate putting plugs in my tank and like to glue them right to rocks so you have to have a good glob and make sure it sticks.
For plugs you can put the gel on out of the water on a dry plug... quick take the frag end and put it in the glue then put it in water... submerged rocks is a bit tougher and messier with glue but not too bad.
