"Re-glue" hardscape

[Catjo]

I was uprooting some plants in my 3-month old tank and my I was unaware that my arm was putting pressure on my drift wood and it came loose (was attached by hardscape glue and tissue). This is my first tank and I am new to the hobby so perhaps the way I glued it initially was inadequate in the first place. What is the best way to "re-glue" the wood to my stones without having to redo the tank/scape?

I was thinking of draining my tank until the attachment points (the attachment points are easily accessible) are above-water and glue it w/ tissue again and refill the tank after an hour or so to allow it to dry. Is this the right way to do it? Is it ok to glue it while the stone and wood are still wet?

Depends what glue you are using. Cyanoacrylate will work when it’s wet, and it dries very quickly.

Glad cyanoacrylate glues work while it's wet, got some lying around. Just got to work fast then. Thanks!
