Hi all,

I had a pile of rubble that I wanted to make use of so I glued it together with superglue into some nice shapes, but to get it to hold well I used the spray accelerator.

I noticed the rock still had a little bit of the odor of the accelerator so I've been soaking it in a bucket of RODI water for the past 24 hours. Checking it periodically and after a water change, it still has some of that accelerator smell.

Any idea if I can put the rock in the DT with that odor still present? Or another way of asking, is the accelerator harmful to the tank at this point? (I know that superglue is used for frags and such, but I don't want the accelerator to mess stuff up.)

Thanks for your expertise.

I use it on every SPS frag I mount with no issue.

Hey did you have any issues? I used a super glue activator and also notice a bit of a smell still on the rocks.
