I found this glue on Amazon and was wondering if anybody had any experience with it for glueing together dry rock ? It’s cyanoacrylate the same as super glue. Trying to find an alternative to paying 40 bucks for a tube of Jurassic Gel. Thanks!

I don't know that product, but I bought this (16oz) and love it.


The bottles and nozzles are a very soft plastic. So when the glue dries at the tips, I just mash them with pliers to break up the glue and get rolling.

I strongly recommend using an accelerant when working with rockscapes. It instantly hardens the bond. Obviously you don't use accelerant for live frags, and do crack a window when using it.

As long as pure cyanoacyrlate its reef safe. I tend to stick with IC-gel because of cost and ease to work with. And i know what i am getting. But if in a bind ill use any gel super glue.
I prefer The small tubes over bottles unless i need a lot of glue for something. Easier for me to apply where i want. And always wear gloves :p
