So frustrated with Cg Coral glue

[AquaAddict]

Hi Albert,

I never cut. I use a large sewing/darning needle to clear the nozzle. My glue works every time.

However, that being said, it is very difficult to squeeze it out of the bottle: either too much or none at all. You need strong hands which I don't have.

I don't use the nozzle at all. I unscrew the cap and use an old salifert measuring spoon to extract glue. A few squeezes of the bottle and it brings fresh glue to the top every time. Never had a problem yet, but I do use it sparingly.

This is my experience and method as well. The product itself is efficient enough for attaching frags to plugs.

I think you meant to address OP about this, not me haha.

Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but the lid is self cleaning? I use the huge bottles of the stuff and never have any issues with it.

That said, it's not my go to product for gluing anything other than zoas and palys these days. I much prefer secret sauce cement.

I have... like a million times. Msg spit.fire. He's got a lot of it

I use Boston aqua glue. I had trouble at first with the nozzle plugging up. So I put a needle in, which has been suggested.
I keep my glue in the freezer. TomR suggested this to me and it works. Its a pain to use cold, so I have to thaw it everytime I use it.
I don't use it often, but I use it as well for household broken things. I estimate I have had it for 3-5 years, its been so long I don't remember. Use it maybe 6 times a year, if that helps.
It does not freeze, just gets very thick and non running

Tried everything and you know what works the best ....

Dollar store 1$ super glue ... use it a few times it runs out then open a new one

all the other bigger tubes get stuck shut or glued or dry up IMO so much better to by a small tube use it and toss it when its done for 1$ cause usually i am gluing a few things and the tube is gone by the time I'm done (re glueing frags the urchin took off) or making new frags

Just my 2 cents

I usually use the small tubes from the dollar store and it worked well for me.
The last time at J&L I bought a bottle of the Cg coral glue with the self cleaning nozzle "YA RIGHT" after I used it once I now can't get the cap off the nozzle any more, so it should be called plastic glue. So now I just use a salifert spoon to get it out of the bottle, 75ml bottle for $25.95. I should have just kept using the the dollar store glue.
But you know what they say hind sight is 20/20.
