I picked it up at Red Coral here in town. I asked for something thick, and that was what Kevin recommended. Sadly, my local supply is no more. I hadn't used it, so I can't comment on how it would have worked.

I've always used that glue in conjunction with the tailor epoxy. Works fine for frags but I let them set out of water to dry for about 5-10min. Pretty sure OC sells it if you're looking for more.

I like my frags on plugs BTW

Noted. I only have the clear acrylic ones. Will that work for you? The monti you gave me is on one, so I assume that's okay.

Providing nothing goes badly, I'll make sure there is one for you.

Well, I got a few little frags made. They're about half the size I wanted them to be.

I guess I had never looked that closely at the birdsnest before . . . At least I hadn't noticed how the braches fuse when they touch, anyway. When I looked at what I wanted to cut, I discovered it was connected to other pieces: like a big web. I don't think what I did will help the bottom pieces get more light, but at least the frags are sparse enough that nothing will block the light they get.

I just kind of snapped off the braches with the side cutters as suggested, and that worked really well. I only got one little "shard."

They do look quite neat and tidy, so I'm pleased with that.
