Kimberlee Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 How do you attach a frag that is slimy? I have these dedros that produce just enough slime coat to prevent super glue from sticking. I've tried to glue them, and when I think they are attached they slime their way free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I dry the area with a paper towel then apply glue. You could wedge them into a crevice or something, soon they will encrust. They grow quick especially if you feed em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Thx, a couple of ?. Drying the area didn't work. I dried both rock surface and coral. About wedging it into a crevice,is it safe to really wedge the the hard skeleton part in, or will I kill it if I damage the skeleton? Oh I love feeding the coral,you are right they grow fast when fed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I use the red epoxy when attaching all my corals to my rock-I have turbo snails and just glue did not always work. Dry the area with a towel as Impur mentioned then add some super glue gel, then the epoxy (following directions on epoxy) then super glue gel again, basiclly a sandwhich, glue, epoxy glue. Works every time and if done right wont come unglued, you will need to pry it off with a screwdriver. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
