What can I use to attach some SPS frags, mushrooms to a rock. beside special glue? -locktite? -crazy cola?


thanx a lot
 
Be careful... Locktite is a brand name. They make several variaties of adheasives. Some are not suitable for mounting frags. However, they do make several industrial and commercial (with more fillers but still not as many as other super-glue brands) grades of cyanoacrylate (aka super-glue).
 
Use superglue gel.

Put a glob of it on the LR out of water, stick on coral and dunk it for a few seconds. This makes it haze over and dry a little quicker.

I Superglue to LR rubble, then Epoxy that LR rubble to my LR.

I've used all different types of Superglue and never had a problem. I don't think there's even a toxic one out there. All of them are pretty much the same chemical. If you want to be safe, go with a brand like loctite or crazy glue super glue.

As far as expoxy goes, just get something thats for underwater use. Usually its white. Personally I use This
and it works pretty good. Just be aware that your skimmer will get pissed off at you until the epoxy is dry.
