What glue is ok to use?

I have a powerhead mount that is broken .Is there a certain glue that I should use that won't leach anything into the water?

Super glue is safe. Gel superglue is easier to use under water. Two part epoxy is aquarium safe when fully cured and would probably work better to fix a powerhead mount.

Putty-type epoxy. It will make your skimmer act up a little.

any superglue "the key ingredient being Cyanoacrylate" is reef safe. Gel is easier too use.
