what is the best crazy glue for fragging

jbardwel · 11/08/2011, 05:31 PM

I bought some cheap gel crazy glue for fragging my zoos and star polyps at a dollar store and it didnt work that well. What brand crazy glue do you guys recommend?

Any gel cyanoacrylate adhesive will do. Very little variation between brands. Just make sure it's gel. Removing excess moisture from the pieces to join can help.

IC-gel is excellent. But most products work well.

For some reason it never worked for me. I thought it was a good deal until some of my zoa frags detached and floated away. Mine didn't specifically say "gel" on it though.

I was actually thinking about buying a big bottle of generic cyanoacrylate gel off of eBay or from one of the hobby stores. Seems like the stuff is geared for model builders. Has anyone ever done that?

orks great
