frag glue what do you use!
 
looking to do up some frags what types of glue do you use.

the coral epoxy that comes in tubes and smells like something died on your fingers for a week afterwards....

super glue works well too, but I'm not allowed to use it because I tend to glue things together that shouldn't be together.... :redface:

I use a hot glue gun, and super glue, tired of wasting money on epoxy, to have it fall off when I put it back in the tank.

I use the 2 part epoxy that comes in a stick along with superglue. Put a dab of superglue on the frag, smush the 2 part epoxy onto the superglue, a dab of superglue onto the epoxy and smush it onto the rock(s). Works everytime even for larger colonies.

Superglue Gel. Its works well but you have to be fairly generous...

Hey, Its actually called SuperGLUE and is made by Loctite. Its a gel version that works great for frags. You can even glue it underwater if you are fast enough (within about 10-15 seconds).

I picked mine up at canadian tire for around 10 bucks.
Sorry so slow to get back to you.
