super glue

[jammerz]

Am i correct to only use the gel super glue in glueing corals? And i do this out of water correct, pat it(coral & rock) dry drop of glue then back to the tank?
thanks guys....

I use crazy glue gel or clones, and i do it in a tupperware with water in it, so the non-glued part is still in water and no glue is dropped into the tank.

BTW crazy glue gel is good for let's say zoanthids, but if you want to glue two pieces of LR together it isn't great

you could use liquid but it is a problem because its, well, liquid, so it kind of gets deep into the pores and spreads out a lot. if you get the gel you just create a nice fat drop and it stays.

what i do is this:

put a good size dollop of glue on the piece i want to glue (usually a small branch or frag) and then dip that in a tuperware container with a little SW. the glue will go from clear to milky and some "skin" will float off. i then add glue again and do the same. then, i stick the little piece of rubble wherever i want it in the main tank. i know plenty of people who just do all the glueing in the display tank (no tupperware) and it doesnt cause them a problem, but i am usually acclimating anyway so i might as well use that water
