What brand? I go through a lot of the Loctite gel glue (in the blue bottle) when I'm tying flies. My supply of that is null, too. I do need some more of that.

I like the idea of dollar store glue, but I glue my frags right to my LR
No plugs, no rubble
I'll have to find some of the $1.25 stuff and see if it works underwater

Shelly, as the others were saying about fragging it, snapping branches off is easy
I made 2 accidental frags recently just by bumping it and they snapped off clean right at the base

I picked it up at Red Coral here in town. I asked for something thick, and that was what Kevin recommended. Sadly, my local supply is no more. I hadn't used it, so I can't comment on how it would have worked.

I've always used that glue in conjunction with the tailor epoxy. Works fine for frags but I let them set out of water to dry for about 5-10min. Pretty sure OC sells it if you're looking for more.

I like my frags on plugs BTW :mrgreen:

Depending what you pay for that bottle, you may want to re-think using it

I paid $5.25 for a 4ml bottle of the Loctite superglue gel
- $1.31/ml
I paid $55.00 for 295ml of Coral Glue
- $0.19/ml

7 times the price for that little bottle :surprise:

Come to think of it, the Coral Glue is still cheaper than the dollar store stuff if it's a 4ml bottle

Noted. ;) I only have the clear acrylic ones. Will that work for you? The monti you gave me is on one, so I assume that's okay.

Providing nothing goes badly, I'll make sure there is one for you. :)

:lol: You don't have a son who steals your glue! There is no way I would tempt him with $55 worth of glue. I'd rather lose $5 worth.

Plus he could do a lot of damage with a bottle that big :surprise:
