Loopy Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 See linky if you not sure what i am refering to http://www.trademe.co.nz/Art/Art-supplies/auction-72377213.htm Is the glue for these things safe in aquariums? What are the glue sticks even made of? I wouldn't use them to seal an aquarium but i have used it to stick some little bits of polystyrene (sp?) to a coke bottle to make it float. (note: glue from glue gun gets hot enough to MELT coke bottle. Can result in rather peculiar looking bottles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachy Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have used it in aquariums, with no ill effect. It would prob be better to use silicone, but i wanted a quick fix and didint want to wait for it to cure :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I don't know but it looks pretty inert in the stick and all you are doing is melting it and letting it reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I once tried it glueing pipes into a tank for som axolotls and found that it glued alright to the pipes but didn't stick very well to the glass- i don't know if this was just the type of glue I used. If you go for glass silicone make sure you get the right stuff. many types say that they are good for glass- however if you read the small pint on the back it cannot be used for constant submersion. I use Sealeys Glass silicone and have had no problems. make sure you leave it to cure for 7 days as directed though and to rinse out the tank before you use it. Hope this helps- David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petplanet Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Totally aquarium safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richms Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Safe, but virtually useless. Its only really good at sticking things with a bit of flex, solid things it just seems to peel off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
