I think just normal superglue is fine, just make sure it's fully dry before putting into the tank

superglue is fine, just add a small amount and avoid the roots.

Thanks,

That will be my task when my new bogwood stops tanning the water.

I found that when I was using superglue that it didn't take hold when the wood was wet.

Strange seeing as water is the bonding agent for superglue!!! If you use too much it may not bond but using it sparingly it should bond instantly on contact with any water, hence how it instantly bonds skin...from the moisture in and on your skin.

Just make sure the superglue is cyanoacrylate based and you should be fine

Oh, this still going?

I didnt use superglue in the end anyway... Good old fishing line.
