The glue must say... Contains "cynocrylate" or similar spelling.

Just make sure you use enough, or they wont stay put. When you put a glob on and put it in the water, it will form a skin and wont get all over. Have a planned spot and keep it there until it holds on by itself. Good luck (frustrated the hell out of me my first time)

You have to hold the rock in place for about 15 seconds too. Then hope you didn't glue your finger to the rock when you try to let go

The aquamend frustrated me more than the superglue. That stuff gives me fits.

sounds like I have a fun time planned ahead
