Hey guys ,
I want to stick a load of lava rock together , what do you recommend ??
Seen some people just use super glue for moss etc
Or do I need the 'aquarium approved ' stuff ?
Cheers
Umm that should not be the case, once set silicone it is extremely strong?
Super glue is not going to work but epoxy will, (millput).
Polyurethane glues are inert when cured (available in 310 cartridge tubes like silicone) & very ridged after a couple of hours, if you have a lot of rock that would be a good choice but milliput is the stuff to use for small jobs.
Milliput seems promising , will give that a go ,
I'm hoping to glue a load of lava rock together to create a 'drop off' effect in my 35 Liter 🙂
Thanks for that guys
Just a note - milliput uses oxygen when it cures. Probably not much of an issue if you are scaping the rocks prior to adding them to the tank - more of a problem in reef aquariums.
Also Epo Putty is a good alternative - found it works better than milliput.
Hot glues sounds like such a great idea, I was wondering if there was some reason why it is not used as standard on every forum... turning white sound like the reason!
Turning white could be a reason not to use hot glue, but with lava rock it should be easy to cover the glue with some grind up rock sprinkled over the still hot glue...and of course hide the glue as much as possible at the back.
