Hot Glue For Frags? Other?
Hello,
I know that everyone is using Krazy glue but I find that stupid tube only has enough for a couple frags. Does anyone know where I can get a larger amount? Also Krazy Glue is not cheap. I need to do about 20 frags. Has anyone used Hot Glue for frags? It is cheap and seems like it would work if you let it cool off then push the frag into it while it was warm. Any Ideas? Thanks

Go to a hobby shop and pick up "Flash" brand or any Cyanoacrylate glue. I picked up a 2oz. container for $10. That should let you glue A LOT of frags (unless you use obscene amounts per frag).

Haven't used hot glue. Would think the frags wouldn't like the heat very much. Also, don't think hot glue would do the job nearly as well as the other glues folks have been talking about.

There was a person that had limited sucess with a glue gun, I would not use it for anything but large corals as there was a bit of die off from the heat.

That's all I use to glue my frags is a hot glue gun. It holds great for me, and now I have coraline covering it. I don't have a clue what brand it is, but, I got it at michaels, years ago. The only thing that bugs me is picking off the strings of glue that fly around.
