Gorilla super glue to glue down frags

[stanleo]

Can I use this stuff safely to attach frags to my rock underwater?

You are looking for cyanoacrylate, I know their super glue gel uses it. Unfortunately, gorilla glue doesnt list ingredients on bottle as they are proprietary. According to this (https://www.gorillatough.com/product/gorilla-super-glue-brush-nozzle/) it is, however I dont trust their glue because of the ingredient issue.

In the warnings it says it contains ethyl cyanoacrylate

I have never used it but should be ok. I have found the best CA for my applications is from the dollar store.. completely reef safe, cheap and typically the applicator tends to clog on CA bottles used in a wet environment so I like the fact I can just toss these little tubes after I’m done.

It probably will be fine to use, just thinner than gel glues.

I use gorilla glue all the time without issue, but you are going to want to use the gel version, the liquid versions wont give you the base you need.

I have used the Gorilla Glue Gel (with the green cap) since I started. It is superior to other super glues not just for the thick consistency, but the design of the bottle allows you to use every drop without hardening or clogging.

You can , may be watery, best if you go with Gorilla super glue GEL type. Or same stuff, but for corals. Always gel type. Also Hobby Lobby has it in thick form, same as gel type. 1 ounce $4.99. I buy like 5 at a time. Put them in frig. Hobby Lobby best for price

This has been my glue of choice for at least 5 years now. I have used so many bottles of it....

Where I live right now. Dessert area. So, putting in frig. prevents any issues, when time comes to use.
