mattie Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 it depends on what you want to glue but the people i get my sps frags from use think crynocrylate from the hobby store they glue the frag to the base rock out of the tank let the item sit for 30 sec to a min untill the glue shows some hold then they place back in the tank and alow it to dry the rest of the way under water Link to comment
caja Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 That would be cyanoacrylate and be sure to use the gel type. The frag can be glued under water as well. Add a few drops to the bottom of the frag, dunk it in a bowl of tank water for a few seconds to form a skin, add a couple more drops then place the frag where you want it and hold it still for about thirty seconds or till the glue starts to grab. I glue all my frags right in the tank. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 search the general section for cyanoacrylate, you should come across a thread started by me. details the best epoxy and the best cyanoacrylate. for mounting stony corals, head to spsfrags.com as Patrick has the best description I have found.
