Supre Glue Gel Question???

SteveNMegz · 03/15/2008, 05:42 PM

Hey guys,
were wanting to glue some frags down and picked up some super glue gel

Product name is : adhaer - Thick Gel Super Glue

anyone use this, and anyone know if its safe?

I haven't heard of a super glue product that wasn't safe. I suppose there's always a first. Can you provide a link?

I have heard of alot of people using dollar store super glue gel with no problems. And they are 2 tubes for a dollar. So I would imagine its fine .

It should be ok. It should be cyanoacrylate

SteveNMegz · 03/15/2008, 07:04 PM

well this is from the dollar store, sorry don't have a link though...

it does contain cyanoacrylate, so this is a good thing then?????

it also says to make sure both surfaces are clean and dry.... does this mean we'll have to dry the frag off and rock???? or should we be able to jsut take it out of the water and glue right away?

It is a good thing.

Pat dry(paper towel) the spot on the rock and pat dry the frag, add a dollup of super glue, hold it together for 10 seconds or so and place back in the tank in a low flow area.

also, keep the gel in the freezer - it thickens up and makes it easier to work with
