What is a good reef safe all purpose glue. I need to glue two types of plastics together. Thoughts?

Super glue gel. I use this, works great.

what types of plastic? there is probably an appropriate solvent glue that will work better. All of those solvent glues will be reef safe after they have fully cured. Weldon is a common type as is Oatey. one of those should make a glue that will work for you.

Super glue will not bond two pieces of plastic together very well when put under water. or under stress. It may work but depends on your application and what you are making exactly. If it is critical that the two parts stay glued look for something made for the task.

What are you making?
