I like to open the tube... and smell it... ohhh I guess we're talking about a different kind of glue party? damm, me and my big mouth:pimp:

I second that!

We have had the best luck with Loctite brand Super Glue Gel.

You can get it at Lowes or Home Depot.

Don't bother with the other stuff, it is a HUGE waste of money and to be honest, it doesn't seem to work as well...

The small tubes get expensive. I suggest checking with Josh for IC gel or Tony from Reef Exotics for his glue. You will get large tubes of thick gel that works great.

This true, but the big tubes get messy and then worthless

Not for me. I use them to the last drop. If you wiped the tip before you put the cap on it will be fine. Not very complicated. :tongue1:


What brand tubes are you using?

 

[bad coffee]

i trade you glue for beer?

In the other thread Josh mentioned the week of Feb 11th..

I think it's a great idea and could use a few tubes myself.

i get the 20 pack for about 5 dollars very cheap rich :biggrin: :lol2:

Glue + Beer = GOOD!

Where do you find this deal Tony? I always see the 2.39 for 2x2g tubes etc..

I had the most trouble with IC Gel.

When you are gluing 30+ frags at a time, you don't have time to wipe the tip :tongue1:

I prefer Loctie Super Glue Gel - Easy to Find and it doesn't make a mess.

I used loctite gel glue, zap gel, crazy glue, and cheap brands etc. I second loctite! It is the best i've used so far. Just twist the cap untill it clicks and its ready to use. Zap gel is ok but i havent tried IC gel. I will be getting some in though.........

i don't like the loctite gel as much as the cheaper "DURO Quick GEL" that HD and Lowes carry.

THe loctite is more expensive and not as thick as the DURO brand.

 

[ellebelle]

I've been using the IC gel, and I've had a lot of problems with it. Maybe I'll see if I can get some Locktite tomorrow.

 

[jackson6745]

That 4g loctite gets expensive and its a PITA to squeeze out the last few drops. Its about $2.50 for that in HD. For $5 you can get 20G of IC gel or Tony Acropora's glue from Reefexotics (which is awesome BTW)

Tony, where do you find a 20 pack of the small tubes for $5?

:bump: I too want the answer to Rich's question.
