Hmm, can you clarify that please Shoeib?
It will hold and dry in the water, right?
I'm guessing it's just that you have to start the gluing and initial hardening outside the tank, right?

This glue isn't as thick as superglue gel, unless you leave it out in the air a little bit. You aren't trying to apply underwater are you?

Works great under-water for me. Although it is slightly thinner than gel. Still thick enough to put on the end of a frag, and stick it to a rock underwater.

Moe and Dave,
This glue didn't work for me for underwater like gel. It is liquid so it didn't hold on frag underwater. I didn't know about leaving out for a while before attach it to LR in the tank. IT works really good to attch frags to the small piece of rock outside the tank.
Well as i was due for water change, i removed some water and attach few frags to the top exposed LR and it worked. Frags are holding nice so far.

There is a product one can use to get the cyanoacrylate to harden faster - I forget the name of it. Greg Hiller knows; maybe he or anyone else who remembers the name can reply.

Epoxy is good for larger rocks and such - but it doesn't really "stick" underwater. It needs to wrap around the object or be pressed into crevices, holes, etc..., in order to hold well. In my experience, both superglue and epoxy have their place, with a little common ground where either work well.

I am pretty happy so far with superglue gel. I attached frags and some huge frags to colony with using gel. Trick is to turn off all the powerheads, pumps etc... for few minutes and it works. Also if you can get some support from rock or if you hold it for a while underwater then gel works pretty good. Also it always helps to remove any sand or other debris to the spot where you want to attach frags using turkey baster (did i spell that right..)

EZ bond used to make a gel product but recently topped. maybe his company sells the gel (higher visc.)

I can't remeber or find the name of the company, it would probably be easier tjust to contact John directly. I think he said the company was based in Ma?
