Super glue

[Reeftime99]

Are there any super glues we shouldn't use.... what ingredients should we look for? What should we stay away from?
There are way to many brands to choose from, say this brand with these ingredients


Would there be a problem if I use this? What problems could arise with fish and coral from using bad super glue?

Ive get my stuff from dollar tree or the .99 store. They have them in two packs which is convenient and its the gel type.

I tried the cheaper gel glue from Harbor Freight and it worked like crap. I use Loctite gel glue. But it's like $3 each container. And I us that up real fast. I have like 4 packs at my house. Every time I go to HD or Lowes I pickup another one, cuz I use them so fast.

i use the bsi gel..it seem to last the longest..but i also use stuff from dollar tree..

You want gel because the liquid stuff gets everywhere, and you want it to be a cyanoacrylate- based glue because it sets instantly in salt water and it's pretty much chemically inert once set.

Best glue by far is BSI ic-gel. This stuff sets really fast and you don't have to hold it for very long.
