Superglue..

any of the superglues/loktite (whatever brand) that contains Cyanoacrylate. If you look on the package, it'll say it somewhere, often on the back under warnings. I've found it works great, if using it to fasten to rock in the water, just put a decent sized glob on- as soon as the glue hits the water the outermost will form a skin, so when you put it on the rock, push firmly and twist the thing around a bit so that the skin breaks and the still wet glue creates the bond.
I'm a big fan, have rarely been let down by it and have switched over to using it far more than the epoxy which I used to use (and cuss out a lot for falling off, or for not being tacky, etc etc.)

If you have a Dollar Tree near you go to there little tool section and they have super glue gel 3 for a dollar works just as good as anything else
Regular superglue (the liquid) works but the superglue gel does honestly work much better for fragging.
By the way...it'll be rough to find a superglue that doesn't contain the cyanoacrylate...it's possible...but rough!

+1 on dollar tree for the 3-packs of the gel. I buy 10 3-packs at a time. No such thing as too much superglue!

All that glue sucks and is expensive. Go to MICHAELS or JO ANNES and buy ALEENS Jewelry and Metal Glue. It is the same exact stuff that BCI sells in a BIG tube but its only $4 as opposed to $10 from your LFS.

Can't beat the big bottle tube baby :bigsmile: Stuff rocks! I actually got a couple tubes yesterday and used about a quarter of one putting together frag racks. For $4 you just can't go wrong with this stuff.

I use two different glues for fraging. I like the thinner stuff for gluing zoa frags since I usually am doing it out of water on rubble. And for in the tank I use that super cheap Scotch brand that all the grocery stores sell because it is ***** thick and work really well without a lot of fight.
I buy mine from a guy on eBay. $13.99 for two 2 oz bottles. The little tubes from the dollar store work but I find that if you have to glue large pieces or rocks, they are hard to work with as they run out and you are having to either open another tube or roll it from the bottom to push the glue out. I am gonna have to check out the Aleens though.
