it will be a couple weeks as I am sitting in a hotel in Orillia Ontario right now. I have hit and miss luck with super glue as it realy doesn't like gluing "wet" things I have found unless you use a ton. I think the gorillia glue (or any polyurathane glue) will be better as it uses moisture to cure it and once it skims over it is water proof, non toxic and has no acids (crazy glue has acids and I think this is why the bottom of the corals die, which makes them take longer to encrust). I think this combanation will be better on the corals in theory and as long as you can keep it in a container untill it starts to harden (only has a 20 min working time) it should be good. you don't need to wait for a full cure but only long enuf for it to hold the coral. My second though is about the 20 min working time. I believe if we put some on our rocks about 10 min befor we start sticking the frags in we should only have to wait 5 or 10 min for it to set up, but I will test this by gluing a couple chunks of rubble togeather at different times.
