Using the gel like everyone recommends and it does not seem to cut it.tried lots,little ,tried massaging it into the rock,tried letting it set a bit but nothing works great? What am I missing ?

What type of glue? Using a marine glue?
The ecotech glue is reliable and will set under water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm just using crazy glue advanced gel but I will order some of the stuff you suggested . I would think my main problem is gluing plugs to already established rock. But Often it feels strong but let's go after a while?

Sounds like your glue is no good I have glued down my entire sps reef with the ecotech crazy glue works great in the water.

Yeah. The crazy glue advanced resists water me thinks. But I assume that's what is meant by "advanced".
The Boston Aqua stuff works too, but the ecotech is reliable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Once scrubbed, the glue stays stuck - enough so that I have to pry it off with a screwdriver

Here's a trick I use when using glue. Put a blob of glue on the plug and then put the plug under water for a second or two. Then pull it out and put a little more glue on top. When you go to attach it to the rock don't just push it in place. Twist the plug and scrape it around on the rock a little till it really sticks. The problem with most crazy glues ( Ecotech excluded cause ive never tried it) is that as soon as you put it under water the glue forms a skin around it that isnt sticky at all. So scraping it against the rocks pops the bubble of glue and sticks much better.
