My First Moss Attachment Ever.

[minnnt]

Any super glue will do. I have used the stuff from the pound shop for my last project. No issues at all.

It does work if wet, but works better if allowed to dry for a few minutes. I wiped the wood and dried the plant slightly with a tea towel.

Ive got some bostik all purpose extra strong adhesive ion the house, will that work

Have a look on the glue it needs to be pure cyanoacrylate, I've not used glue I just use cotton thread

Blimey, the moss has gone a long way

No Bostik is not suitable, it has to be superglue.

Yes Micko, i bet she would have gone ballistic, but i just chucked it in the washer afterwards Suprising how mucky wet wood is...

I used superglue for the anubias and java fern as they have been in there about 3 months now and still haven't rooted to the wood! Now they have no choice but to stay put.

For my moss i used cotton thread srapped around it as many times as i could and as many different ways as i could. This way i found you get less bits float off.

It really has ive even put some in my other tank Many thanks for sending it so soon, its brilliant just need to sort out fixing it to the coconuts

 

[Titchie]

The problem is the shape of it, Il try the glue and see what happens, the wood should be fine though

Drill loads of holes in the coconut and tie it on that way.
