What Coral Glue to use?

[Elflaco112]

What is the best thing to use to glue coral frags onto a rock in the DT. Since I cant move the rocks out I want to know what else to use instead of the glue that hardens up before I get to the rock. What are some other things I can use? Any advice Please.

That's not aquarium safe is it?

I use the Home Depot Loctite SuperGlue Gel.

I've been using IC gel glue, it works great. I was using crazy glue but sometimes it just didn't work. IC gel is thicker and hardens better. With the frag swap coming you can usually pick some up at the swap for a great price.

KRAZY GLUE is safe.i forgot the ingredient but its safe.as for the homedepot im not sure if thats safe

KRAZY GLUE GEL
IC-GEL Insta-Cure Cyanoacrelate
coraffix
scotch super glue gel
coral frag glue


all can be use.
not all have the same thickness and comes in diff sizes and shape.

IC gel glue thwe best i have used so far

IC glue is definitely the best imo. I have used loctite and crazy and both are no comparison. IC comes in a bigger tube, is thicker and hardens faster. and it is the cheapest at the swap for 5$ compared to the quantity (not to mention quality); almost double what you get at home depot.

:Yikes:

Now that you used that many different glue, which one you find is the best?

reg crazy glue and gel crazy glue suck they dont last long on the frags and they dry up in the tube no matter how tight u cover it up today im gonna try the loctite from home depot

the best one for securing frag is ic gel due to the thickness.
however i don't like the metal tube it comes in.

most superglues are cyano based.. bsi ic- gel which is a popular gel used for fragging is really a glue used for models and rc airplanes... ic -gel is great.. i use it for multiple hobbies.. but i have also used superglue gel from the dollar store with similar results...

Any kind of gelled cyanoacrylate glue works great. Cyanoacrylate is your bog-standard 'crazy glue,' with the gelled kind they just fill it up with plastic binders. Totally reef-safe.
