What do you use to glue a frag?

I'm awful at gluing frags.
I've been using gorilla glue, but sometimes that's not good enough.

Yesterday, I tried glue combined with 2 little fishes putty. All I did was make a mess & it didn't stick LOL.

What do you use?!!?

I tried this Starbong CA thick glue gel recently.. I'm not a fan. It was not as thick as the BRS extra thick, being too watery/runny.
I tried the BRS glue too, having bought a big bottle of it, unfortunately because I don't use it that often, the caps it came with started hardening and became unusable.
The small IC-gel ca glue was small, but feels quite expensive to use in the long run..

Putty just seems like a big PITA to use

Assuming dry frag plugs: The trick is to use an accelerator with the super glue.....whatever brand you wish to use. I actually make my own accelerator by mixing 1 tsp baking soda with a 1/4 cup of water.

If you're gluing in the tank, mix up epoxy putty now squirt in some super glue....quick mix, stick in the frag and stick it in the tank.

I use superglue gel, cheap at Harbor Freight. I also use Reef Welder for other frags. It all depends on where I want to place the frag.

Super glue gel from the dollar store. Dab with the tip on where it's going. Take tip off and load the rest on the coral or plug. Then just keep twisting them together under water

Any type of super glue GEL. As long as it's gel it's perfect. I bought a huge 25 pack of polyplab gel glue during black Friday because I'm always moving frags.
