Yes you can glue rock but you better off not glueing because you are going to find yourself moving the rocks arround and rea arranging things periodically

under water appoxy or do the following
1. Take two rocks and place them as you wish
2. Mark both rocks in a place where they both touch fairly well.
3. Drill a small hole in both rocks in the spot you marked
4. In the bottom rock put a small amount of appoxy in the hole and insert a small fiberglass rod. it does not have to be fiberglass
5. Simply stick the other rocks hole onto the pin you just made.
6. Enjoy our new very sturdy rockwork.
Works perfectly, is 100% hidden, lets your move your rock, and also helps you make what would normaly be unstudry rock formations

yes they have it at HD well atleats the ones near me they do. I f you cant find it at yours you can find it at most boating stores.
the kind i bought said it was for underwater repairs. It was among the glues and appoxys.
In most Hd stores you will find the glues and appoxy in or around the paint dept

Hey Shiby...they also sell a putty at most lfs. It's better IMO because you can pull the rocks apart if you need to.

The LFS one town north of here buys super-glue in bulk and then repackages it in small, several ounce bottles. This isn't the really watery stuff. It's a low viscosity form and, if it's stored in the fridge, it acquires the consistency of caulk. I use that stuff to glue rocks and corals in place. It can even be applied under water - and it sets up in just thirty or forty seconds.
