Epoxy
I have used regular super glue and yes it is hard to use. I remember the cyanoacrylate from years back making RC airplanes.
The gel version works good. It was called: CA Jet Glue. There was even a spray on accelerator to make it bond instantally!. I saw a guy at a Reef Club meeting use some purplish epoxy putty. I was wondering if there is any cheaper version of this putty that we can pick up locally, say at Home Depot, Menards, or Lowes?? |

Aquamend is available at HomeDepot... I use it when mounting my frags permanently to my LR...
Super Glue Gel is what you always want to use... Boston Aqua Farms sells the accelerator as well as the epoxy putty and other fragging items... http://www.bostonaquafarms.com/store.asp

I have had absolutely no luck with epoxy. A good mix I read here on RC is to layer glue, epoxy, glue. Glue keeps the bond you need, and the epoxy is a good malleable surface to set what you need filling gaps, un-level surfaces, etc.
