Is Scotch Maximum Strength Adhesive safe for frags/tank?

[MaxxdOut]

As the title states. I picked up some Scotch Maximum Strength Adhesive gel (like Super Glue) at the store to glue some frags to my rocks. I have used Loc tight gel in the past but I'm not too sure this is safe.

Contains:
Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Dibutyl Ohthalate.

Thanks for the help
Chris

I think if it is the gel then you are okay. But I could be wrong...

Typically reef safe stuff is cyanoacrylate type glue the other stuff I not so sure of....I am not sure I would risk it unless you have a QT tank.

I wouldn't. Lots of toxicity from a quick skim of google results of the individual chemicals.

i have used it for fragging

NEVER, EVER, EVER use ANYTHING that has methyl ethyl keytone in it!!!!!!
or acetone either.
The only glue that should go into a reef tank is cyanoacrylate, or Billy Mays super putty.

Thanks everyone - I'm glad I checked with you guys.

Back off to the store - Does anyone have any recommendations other than the Loc tight Gel?

Enjoy your weekend!

Why don't you like Loc tight? I have had great success with it. I just wish it came in larger tubes.

Vortech new glue is the best I have used, and I glue thousands of frags a year

I don't have anything against Loc Tight other than the tube size. I picked up the Scotch because it was the only Gel they had in stock (small target store).

Gonzo - I have also heard good things about Vortech's new glue. It's a nice size bottle too.

ya its huge and has a long shelf life

Elite carries it I think

pricey up front but well worth it IMO

Hobby stores carry large cyanoacrylate gel bottles for less than the LFS.
