I picked up some uber-cheap super glue today. It contains ethyl cyanoacrylate (which I know is safe) & polymethyl methacrylate. Is polymethyl methacrylate aquarium safe?

I grab the generic BRS gel glue...got a bad bottle last time around, almost watery.  Hate to give them a bad review, but it is what it is!

Let them know i'm sure they will make it right. I have ordered brs glue a couple times, no problems yet other than me using it under water and hardening the whole tube  :?

I find any super glue that isn't in a bottle, once you use it a few times...the nozel is glued closed. I still use the dollar store stuff as I have found it to be the cheapest. Has anyone tried the gorilla super glue? Comes in bottle but don't know if its safe.

I tried the large bottles and found them a pain because I could never finish them before the lid was all glued shut and crusty.  I can always use every drop of a dollarama tube because they are small and I burn through them.

I almost always use epoxy at the same time as when I use super glue gel though....
