Gluing coral to live rock

[Rbarb1111]

I purchased a product call Duro Quick gel no-run super glue. Can i use this to glue a small piece of live rock with a coral on it to a larger piece of live rock? The directions say to clean and dry surfaces and says nothing of this working under water. Any help

Thanks

Not sure about Duro. Most don't mentioned under water applications. You want a superglue that contains predominantly CyanoAcrylate (CA). Others may know more about your particular glue. I am a tried/true dedicated Loctite Gel user.

It says on the back that it is made by henkel loctite corp

It is most likely the same exact product..

Is there a best way to do this ? or just put glue on and hold the rocks together. How much should i use

Can you take both rocks out of the water?

no only the one with the coral

I think i have used this gel without any problems. You don't have to take out rocks.
-> First use the turkey baster to remove all the sand/other junk where you want to glue the frag.
-> Take the frag out of water and apply gel to the frag and then hold it under water where you want to mount it.
-> Turn off all the pumps and other circulation and hold the frag for 30 seconds and it should do it.
