Gorilla Glue

Does anyone know if cured Gorilla Glue is reef safe?

i had one in my hand when i was @ home depot but decided not to try it since there wasn't much info on the package. i heard it's tuff as sh!t

I don't see why it would not be.
when dry it is inert.
What are you using it to glue?

I bent up some plastic hangers into tree shapes for growing some invasive polyps onto such as GSP. I want to use it to change the diameter of the shapes to make it a little less "manufactured looking, if that makes any sense. If it works, I can place them in the sand and keep them from growing onto the rocks. I also might try drilling into some of my rocks and mounting them for Zoa's to grow on.

i use it all the time on woodwork and its the strongest glue

like Frank I use the glue for woodwork, I've not tried it on any other materials. it will grip anything it lands on in the shop so it will probably work well for your application. I know when it gets on my clamps I have a hard time getting the glue off.

I've used it for many things also. I have found it able to glue a few problem plastics better than most other glues. As long as it reef safe I'm going to give it a try.

Are plastic hangers reef safe? I had a discussion with someone that told me that they leach toxins into the water. I read up on it a bit and found others that agree. You might be better of with acrylic rods.

It foams up like the spray on insulation which some use to decorate their tanks with. Very messy to work with IME.

Wouldn't some branch rocks or dead acro skeletons look more natural to grow GSP on?

Well I guess I'm going to go look for acrylic rods then, no sense taking any chances. As for using branch rock or Acro skeletons, they are either to thick (branch rock) or to closely branched (Acro skeketons). I'll take a pic later to show you my idea.
