gluing frags underwater?

anyone used superglue gel underwater for gluing a piece of rubble with a frag on it to a larger rock. i'm not very impressed with the aquastick epoxy i've got in the water or out.
 
Super glue gel and lots of it. Long term though it really doesn't work well IMO. Eventually the coral can get big enough to pull the rubble loose.
If you use the gel use PLENTY. I have had only limited amounts of success with the epoxy stick except to make a mated base for the rubble rock. Put the epoxy on the rock where you want to mount the rubble piece. Firmly push the rubble into the epoxy. When it doesent stick to the rubble you will at least have a perfect mold of the rubble to maximize the gluing surface for the gel.
