does that mean when it is still wet it can go in the water or am I being dim?

It cures instantly on contact with water, which is why it is used in hospitals for gluing large cuts together.

Yup. It was used heavily in the Vietname war.

lewis how are things today in your setup?

Are we talking the normal cheap, crappy superglue or the gel type?

Can you use both as I've got tons of locktite and need to secure a couple of frags down.

Do you apply it underwater or will I need to remove the LR?

Hey lewiss, hows your reef today mate?

You can use either, but I'd use the gel just because it's a lot easier to work with. A couple days back I opened up a tube that was in packaging labeled as gel, but apparently it wasn't; must have been a packaging goof or something. It was quite the nasty, runny surprise and I'm still picking bits off my hands because of it. Never had that problem with the stuff that's properly gel. It works nicely to make little mounds so that you can glue something onto a rock while submerged, which requires breaking the film that forms when it contacts the water (which will happen as the mound squishes out when you press down). Much harder to do that with the runny stuff.

Unbelievably everything survived but they are still hiding. Just done a water change to make them feel better!! Some of the corals are still sulking but they're grad getting better!!

Thanks for asking guys!

Glad to hear that mate!

Donya - can you apply it out the water and then drop it in straight after? [normal glue, not gel type]

Cheers

My recent experience was that it ran all over everything like a physics defying, frictionless substance in the time it took to get it back into a bucket. But, maybe if you're a ninja...or just really careful, which I wasn't exactly, since I was expecting something with a bit more to it! If you want to have a go, no reason not to give it a whirl. Just might want to do so the first time with something you don't mind having covered in glue dribbles if it goes wrong and/or has to be repeated a bunch of times to make it stick.
