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 |

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!

Tim C. They mention Ross super glue and loctite Quick Tite as well which are fairly popular brands. It is just like asking if "Silicone" can be used in aquariums.... It depends... on the brand and type of silicone... -Jen |

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 ...

Sorry for the scepticism. But note that they specifically warn against "Crazy Glue", which was (at least at one time) the most commonly available cyano-acrylate, so much so that Crazy Glue is often used to mean _any_ cyano-acrylate. OT - you just have to love how "GARF", a Reef research program, is based in Boise, Idaho. I hope they're really helping those Idahoan reefs. -- derek |

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