frag glue
Hi everyone. What do you guys use for glueing frags and where do you get it.
George |
What kind of frags? SPS, softies? SPS use super glue gel or the 2-part epoxy. Softies depend a lot on what type.

Hi Brad. They're softies. I just need to glue the rock that the frags on, to a larger rock. Thanks for the quick response.

I'll "piggy-back" this question. I acquired a few finger leathers and they need a base. Glue ? Anyone ever drill a small hole for a plastic peg ?
|
George, I think the epoxy is the best choice for that.
|
IMHO
Epoxy isnt the best for softies. Use elastic or better yet, needle and cotton thread. Wendell |

ok thanks for the input. I'll try the epoxy since the frags are already on a piece of rock.
however my trumpet coral has a hard tissue for lack of a better word, and the soft part growing from it. I had wedged it into a hole in the rockwork and it held for quite a while. Until the other morning when i found it on the bottom. Could I use the epoxy on that also. I hadn't mentioned this before. But then this coral is considered a soft coral right. Ok enough said. Thanks again. |
Hi,
Personnally I used Super Glue in gel form for softies also and when they are ready to move they develop a toxin and move on the rock .... very interesting to see ! |
Has anyone tried Loctite 454 for glueing frags?
|
I'll second Wendell comments. Definitely needle and thread (or monofiliment) works best. Because softies tend to shrink and expand they are prone to coming detached.
