I honestly thought things could not get better then BSI Insta-cure IC-GEL Coral glue. After using several different name and no-name brand cyanoacrylate glues, BSI was hands down my favorite especially when used in combination with the accelerator. I could not imagine anything better. PolypLab just had to prove me wrong...
What do the claim?
What makes Polyplab's glue different?
•Initial use child proof protection ring
•Positive pressure only aluminum tubes means you get all the glue that you pay for
•Ability to glue underwater with out any back syphoning compromising the product
•It's an ultra thick gel that you can literally "make ice cream cones with"
•Every tube comes with it's own stem
•Stem diameter is uniform for a perfect application
•Glue has an 8 hr work time when exposed to air for extended frag session
•Glue will react with water and bond within 5-15 seconds
•Great for fresh water plants as well
I had a friend who was coming down from London grab me up some from Sustainable Marine Canada yesterday. I am switching up a lot in my tank. Last night I started fragging off some frogspawn, torches and hammers and used the BSi. My accelerator ran out, so it was extremely frustrating waiting for the glue to dry while holding the coral skeleton. This morning I whipped out the PolypLab Premium Coral Frag Glue today to give it a go. I figured it was worth a shot and with its claims I hoped to avoid the previous frustration. After using it on a few frags and using it in the tank, the only thing that was frustrating was that I did not try it last night. I mean seriously thicker then BSi and made perfect cones to place SPS frags into. The real test was the wait holding the frags until they could stand up on their own. It literally was 5-7 seconds and they were good. I also placed a few pieces I was growing out on to rock today as well. Same results as fragging, within seconds it was hard and secure on the rock.
I currently have a blob and testing out the work time as they claim.
I also did not use the whole first bottle, so I will be testing if it can be reused. Several coral glues I have used clog up and can not be used for more then 1-2 applications.
