SPOILER ALERT - If you're not a fish-keeping geek you may want to skip this review cos it's gonna be seriously boring and nerdy!!!
Just a shout to all marine aquarists out there - if you're in to fragging invertebrates, this stuff does a great job.
Despite what you may read on the net, fragging is not difficult. Success depends more on water quality than on fragging technique because everything from coral to xenia, zoanthids and polyps *want* to live and will forgive just about anything if you give them the opportunity to do just that.
This gel works well on everything from wet coral and rockwork to which the inverts may be attached to the bodies of the inverts themselves. I cut an arm of xenia, put a few drops of this glue directly on the wound, smooshed it to the back of a nano tank and it worked perfectly, even immersed in warm sea water. Said xenia has since exploded in to new growth and produced even more arms. The same goes for all sorts of polyps - using Loctite it's possible to reduce a frag to lots of small clusters, glue them at intervals to bigger pieces of rock (or the back wall of the tank) and allow them to spread. All this while wet or completely underwater. It sets really quickly too - scary fast.
The downside?
The bottle is absoutley stupid!
You're supposed to twist the cap with a removable lid type thingy, then squeeze the glue out by nipping panel type wotsits on either side of the bottle. And getting it to work takes a month of Sundays. Really; they've over-complicated things by several orders of magnitude. This to the extent that I'm currently testing other makes of superglue gel in simpler containers.
There again, it may have something to do with the fact that I have hands like bunches of bananas and lack the dexterity required to use the contraption - it's entirely possible that people with more dexterity would get along with the bottle like a house on fire. Who knows?
So, Loctite 3g ultra control gel - really, REALLY good stuff for marine fraggers in a really, REALLY dopey bottle.
