question on glueing frags

iloveswfish · Jan 30, 2015

i have a question on glueing frags to the plugs.... i am vey vey alergic to super glue and coral glue......i have been on Prednizone for 2 weeks trying to get rid of the reaction. So i tried the hot glue gun and it is holding for 2 days now. Has anyone ever tried it? I tried the coral puddy and that does not hold for long... I am going to try drilling holes in rock and see if i can get the frag plugs to stay withouth the snails knocking them off.

I would appriciate your imput

can you just wear latex gloves when fragging?

Turn off your pumps and squeeze super glue on the place where you want the frag to go and put it there w.o touching super glue

i have tried the gloves and the gluein under water but as soon as the glue hits the water it some how leaks into my skin......and then i get the rash...but so far the hot glue gun has stayed glued for 2 days...... even if i have to keep glueing it, it is better than this itchy rash on my arms and stomach...

Find a small plastic canter like a cream cheese one. Drill some holes in the sides put some frag tiles in it. Put the frag in and cover with a screen using a rubber band. Put in a low flow spot and let the frag attach itself

For soft corals like mushroom and leather I use a needle and thread you pierce the corals and tie it to a small rock this holds it in place until it attaches
