Anyone have a good recipe for making DIY frag plugs? I have heard of people using sand and liquid super glue but when Ive tried it in the past , it always fails. Also ive seen people using those little vases that like a single rose would be in. Any one know where you can buy them? Are they cheaper than regular plugs?

There is a mix of rock salt, portland cement, and aragonite sand somewhere out there. You basically set up a cake pan with sand in it. Get the sand damp. Use an existing frag plug as a mold and press it into the sand to make a form. Then mix up the salt, sand, and cement into a thick liquid and pour it into the sand molds. The damp sand will wick away some of the water from the cement. Let it dry for a few days. Then take them out of the sand and let dry for about a week. Then place in a mesh bag in the back of your toilet for a month or two to soak out all of the salt and chemicals from the plugs. Dropping a cement plug right into the tank will affect PH big time.

I would love to find a small kiln and do them in ceramic though.

Do a YouTube search. I have found a couple of good ideas for them on there.

Okay thanks. Ive seen people use the nipple part of a babies bottle for a mold, just don't know how well it will work

I'm going to try this method.
