I have tried super glue and 2 part epoxy paste and neither works on wet surfaces. It appears that the glue or paste does not want to stick to submerged surfaces. What works? Or better yet how do you get it to stick? Thanks
 
I have glued all my frags directly to live rock under water with Gorilla super glue gel. I just hold the plug in place until I feel like its staying in place and after that its impossible to remove the frag. Maby try another brand of glue? The one I use contain cyanoacrylate.
 
We use the gorilla super glue as well. You do have to hold it in place for a minute or two for it to set up.
 
I have had the same problem Dub. Gorilla super gel from Home Depot works pretty well. Lately, I've been making islands that I can easily remove from the tank, dry off with a towel, scrub any algae away, and then apply the glue and place the frag with dry bottom onto the island.
