I've tried the superglue route with xenia, and it didn't work for me. They just slime over and the superglue won't hold.

Xenia, for me, worked best with thread or fishing line. Although I'd never put it in my tank again on purpose

I hate epoxy. Ill use it if I reallly really have to in certain cases, but otherwise screw it. SUPERGLUE. it's a godsend.

i never try to attach epoxy underwater. always out... seems to work better for me.

Just testing an older tube of superglue gel. It is still not curing after 30 minutes. How long should it take?

About a minute unless you use to much. Dry end of frag and what you are mounting to.

yeah it should not take long at all. I like to spray the glued part with tankwater or dunk the whole thing in the tank because it makes it cure faster. how old is "older"?

Not sure how old this tube is. I will test again, 1 minute curing time is more like what I expected.
