Instantbond glue safe to use?

[phillyb614]

Hello everyone! I am getting a new tank delivered soon. In preparation for this, I’m going to start working on the aquascaping soon.

This will be my second tank. I have plenty of live rock in my current tank, but I had no clue about being able to break the rocks up and gluing them together to create a custom aquascape. Yeah, one of MANY things I didn’t know lol! I purchased some Instant bond glue and accelerator. I planned on using it along with some instant ocean epoxy.

I have read on here that a Cyanoacrylate based glue should be fine. I did confirm that Instant bond is a Cyanoacrylate based glue. I simply want some reassurance before I spend a bunch of time and effort on creating my aquascape.

SDS states that it is very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Did you ever end up using this? Did it turn out ok? I can see it being unsafe non cured but I’m curious post cured

Honestly I bought some super glue gel pretty cheap from Amazon, but they were only 2-3g per tube. I just buy the polyplab glue tubes. It’s 4g and the tubes are actually filled. It’s slightly more than some of the Amazon Chinese brands, but atleast I know I’m getting good stuff:p

True thanks! I built my aquascape with this stuff last minute because I ran out so I only used a little and now I’m worried I have to restart if this stuff isn’t safe lol!

You can make accelerator for superglue with baking soda and water
