Whats the best way to mount a cap frag? Just try and get it to stay in between rocks? I've tried to do that but it keeps falling/getting knocked off of where I put it. Thanks.

super glue gel, not too much, but enough to hold. dab som on a spot that will meet the rock and hold it there for about 60 seconds.

I had it glued to a frag plug but it came dislodged. Do they do better gluing to rock?

1. dry back of cap
2. a drop of super glue gel (green trim not red)
3. press premixed epoxy (puddy) onto superglue
4. drop of superglue onto epoxy
5. press (not too hard) and hold onto rock for 60 sec

yeah, what bart said!

epoxy in combination with glues is hard to beat. just be careful to not let the epoxy touch the coral, it heats up as it hardens.
