Aquascape superglue

[emskim]

Hey I found this superglue and it has the cyanoacrylate but it also contains hydroquinone so is this safe for salt water? I’ve heard mixed reviews and feed back abt it

Hydroquinone cream is the standard depigmentation or skin lightening agent. Clinically it is used to treat areas of dyschromia, such as in melasma, chloasma, solar lentigines, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

If it does have this pharmaceutical in it you might need a prescription and it might make your black tang look like Michael Jackson looked near the end of his life.

I buy this stuff 30 tubes at a time, works out to be about a dollar a tube for me.

Yeah, this is the way to go. In my experience it is a fools errand to try to reuse super glue. The bigger the bottle you get, the more you waste. Get lots of those little tubes, and consider them to be single use.

Yep 100%

That way i can use it underwater with no stress of stuffing the tube

Is there a Harbor Freight near you? They sell two kinds-- get the one that says "gel" to glue rocks and frags under water.

Should also add that this stuff from Ali Express is really gel like - some of the cheap tubes of superglue can be really runny and make a huge mess.

This stuff has been great.

Your title mentions "aquascaping", are you planning to use glue to glue rocks together? The super glue is good for gluing frags but won't work on large rocks, you would need reef cement to attach rocks for aquascaping purpose.

Superglue and Sand works really well for this.
