Gorilla Super Glue Brush & Nozzle -- Any Users Out There?

[esther]

So, I was told by Gorilla Glue the following info about their glues: "We do not recommend using our super glues in fish tanks. They are water soluble and we cannot confirm that our adhesives are non toxic once they are cured." So, I'm a little hesitant to use this. Has anyone out there used this on frags that they put in their tank?

i haven't used that one specifically, but i've used the gel CA glue without issues.

^^ Same here, and no issues as of yet.

I also use the GG gel. If I need a brush, I make a disposable one by using a plastic drinking straw and fraying one end about a half inch with a pair of scissors.

I've used gorilla glue gel for years without issue.

I have used the Gel Glues with no problem.

Any glue that is 100% cyanoacrylate is perfectly safe. MOST plumber epoxys are safe as well.

I tried using the GG gel to attach a couple new frags to my rocks and it was a disaster. Nothing happened to the tank, but the frags wouldn't stick to the rocks and I almost glued my fingers together.

What is the secret to using this stuff to attach corals to your rocks in the tank?

Use it in conjunction with a reef epoxy like HoldFast from Instant Ocean. Knead the epoxy and use the glue on the sides that will attach to the rock surfaces. The epoxy helps the glue conform to the shape and nooks of the rock surface.

I haven’t used that glue however I’m sure the brush is worthless. What will happen is as soon as it gets wet it will encrust and turn into a solid mess.

I much prefer a gel style CA adhesive over anything else. You can apply a glob and press and twist it to your rockwork. The gel stays where you put it.

Ideally you want something that you can change or cut the tip on till you run out of glue. Attaching frags to rockwork can be a very messy job.
