crazy glue
 
I was wondering if there is any difference between crazy glue and coral glue?

I've heard it the same thing just thicker glue and a slower curing time with coral glue.

Any thoughts?

Use the crazy glue in the gel form. Works great. Did the sniff test with each in a baggy and the crazy glue won hands down. J/k But not on first sentence, it does work good.

Coral glue is simply the gel crazy glue (cyanoacrylate)

crazy glue like the others said. I love the fact that it dries under water (and this surprised me on my first coral). I like Loctite gel seems to do the trick Its was recommended to me by another reefer at one point

Just buy the thick gel version, not the liquidy runny glue.

Have used generic dollar store crazy glue and the coral glue from J&L for years with no issues.

Coral glue is actually one of those rare instances where it is cheaper to buy at a LFS...... Those little tubes of crazy glue and loctite only have 6ml of glue in then and sell for $5 ish ..... The bottles of coral glue have 25ml if I remember correctly and cost about $18

I buy mine at hobby stores for around $8-10 for the 25ml size, if one is close it might be worth while to check.

We used to buy in bulk from a local hobby shop ($8-9/bottle) but then they raised the price to $12+ so I just buy a couple of bottles at J&L on Boxing Day. When I run out, I'll buy the 3-4ml ones from the dollar stores for a buck each and use those when making only a few frags at a time.
