Gluing Coral... I stink at it!

Coral glue, putty no matter, I totally suck at gluing corals! What the heck is the secret? I can't exactly remove my aquascaping so I am forced to glue underwater. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Mike

Try 'Coral Glue' by Ecotech Marine. Use a lot and move it around a little as you're holding it in place. Worked well for me.

+1 to that. I move and squish it around a little and then hold it for 20secs or so.
I've tried with other brands and they arent as good.

One hint I read somewhere is to put a little cyano glue on your finger and smear it where you want to glue the frag. Then put glue on the frag and glue it to the smear while rotating it slightly. I have tried it and it works well but gets your finger covered with glue.
