How do you superglue frags

[hammerhed7]

I have fragged my yellow devils hand, and I tried to rubber band the frags to rocks, but this caused 3 of my frags to split again, now I 9 pieces. I picked up some superglue gel, my question is how do I glue the frags onto the rocks? I have small rocks that I could glue the pieces to and let them sit in a seperate container if necessary.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

your not going to be able to superglue a leather. try the netting method.

super glue wont work on leathers, as teen said.
us net or the shallow dish method.
rubber banding is tricky to get the tension right, too tight they split, too loose the slip out.

break a tooth pic in half super glue tooth pic to a rock and stick it on the tooth pic

digity is right. use a toothpick and stab it. thats what i do. superglue one end to rock and the other end stab it into the leather.

Can also use a needle and white thread or fishing line to tie it down. once it attaches this can be removed later.

thanks for the replies everyone, looks like I have 3 good options, I may try each one to see which one works best.

thats the way to go, try them all find out what works best for you, I personally have great luck rubberbanding, I have been doing it so long I almost never get it too tight any more (still do once in a while though) when I do I switch to the dish method wich I consider a great fall back for attaching just about any softie. good luck

i don't have alot of experience here, but i've done three leathers this way. and about to do another.
I put them on the substrate for a week or so and let them grab a few pieces of it and attach to it. then i apply very small amount of glue on the pieces of substrate and then attach to a rock.... they grow with no problems. before long they will grow over the glue and substrate and you won't see any of it.
