Toby Flenderson Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Im sure I'm the last person to learn this DOH!and tell me if im stating the obvious but gluing frags underwater works very well for certain cases. I must have been really bored because I was watching a frag gluing video from ecotech and they show different ways to apply frags underwater. I found this technique works really well when using the classic runny small tubes of super glue. Underwater they ball up perfectly and stay in place. Great for gluing tiny frags and plugs That don't have a hole to sit in while the glue cures. The ecotech glue looks great but give me dollar tree gel all day. Here's the vid I watched. http://ecotechmarine.com/media-gallery/video/coral-glue-mov/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 One of the best tricks I've learned is to apply super glue gel to the frag, then a wad of mixed up epoxy putty, then super glue on top of that. Press it in place and let it set. It's a really strong bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I've glued underwater multiple times. Just remember to turn your power heads off before gluing, I speak from personal experience on that one DOH! Ime the "epoxy sandwich" is the best way to glue frags.
