    I need to glue a couple Frags to my Live Rock..
    Most of it will have to be done underwater..

    I know how to do it, and to use SuperGlue Gel..

    I have.... Loctite Super Glue Gel.....

    Will this Brand work ??????

    Thanks for any Info...


    Later, Larry

    Please remember, I am a beginner, so I ask anything I'm not sure of even tho it may be simple, I don't want to kill anything ..!!!;D

    Just be quick if you are underwater, In my limited experience the saltwater kind of quick-cures the outter skin of the glue, hold in place for like 30 seconds. Thats how this newb does it.

    I do it out of water if possible, it takes too long for my patience under water!
