Is super glue safe
the magnet on my impellar has seperated from the impeller. Can I use
super glue to put it back together. This is just temporary, they are sending a new impeller assembly out to me, just need to get the filter back up and running. thanks |
Superglue is not waterproof. Use a two part epoxy instead or a solvent
cement. KRF wrote: the magnet on my impellar has seperated from the impeller. Can I use super glue to put it back together. This is just temporary, they are sending a new impeller assembly out to me, just need to get the filter back up and running. thanks |

It just won't last more than a day in water :-) -- derek |

Whether it will still have good hold when under water is another question. -Jen |

The only thing I would expect to work there is a marine epoxy - coral being notariously awkward to glue even in a dry location. -- derek |

Well, when you read the link, it's not just a generic "super glue" they're
talking about, it's their own formulation that they call "GARF REEF GLUE", and at a steep price, too. They also mention a brand "Super Reef Gel" which doesn't sound like it's the watery cyanoacrylate stuff that most of us know as "super glue" - which is mostly "super" for cementing your fingers and flesh together, usually not on purpose!

The epoxy proposal is right on traget. It might well make the replacement a
permanent spare!

Aquarijen is spot on, they've been using it to 'paste' corals and such for quite sometime, these are reefers so I would imagine there would be zero complications in your pond. Go for it. -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** "Aquarijen" wrote in message ... "Derek Broughton" wrote in message ...
