Super Glue?

[summerdaze]

OK I need to glue a coral frag to a rock and I was told by the lfs to use NON TOXIC super glue. Now, where do I find it ? Ive looked everywhere! Please help!
I also need instructions on how to do this. thanks

You can use any type of super glue gel. I used Krazy Glue Gel and it worked great for me. You can find it at home depot, lowes, just about any hardware store or hobby store. Make sure its GEL formula.Take the frag and the rock, dry them off the best you can and apply a small amount of glue. It should dry in and bond in about a minute.

i buy all of mine at odd lots. it is cheaper (about 1/2) and there cheapo brand works better than any brand i have ever used. even works under water

Make sure that it is ethyl cyanoacrylate gel.

Any brand is fine as long as it is ethyl cyanoacrylate gel.

JUST make sure it is SUPER GLUE GEL GEL GEL

1 take rock that frag is going on and dry off
2 dry off where glue will go
3 place small amout of glue on frag and stick to rock
4 allow to dry for about 2-3 mins
5 place frag back into tank in a low flow area for a few days
6 watch this AWSOME video

You can get Zap Gel at any good hobby shop too. Its not actually made for the aquarium industry...

Lowes or Home Depot has a brand is use. I love it! It's call Locktite.

ANY super glue will work, period! You don't need to dry anything off either, but it helps. You can actually apply the stuff underwater right from the tube. It cures a lot faster though so you have to be quick.

you use locktite? thats for securing screws in place lol

I use the gel put it on the frag then stick it straight in the tank to the rock I want it on wait a few seconds and it is stuck. Right in the tank water.

Locktite Superglue gel or any Super Glue Gel containing ethyl cyanoacrylate is what you should use. Everything I have read stresses not to use just any glue. All glues probably would glue screws in place. LOL!!!
