If you give it a squeeze, the stuff keeps coming out and you can't stop it unless you cap it and let it dry inside. So what I do is just get all my frags ready, line em up, and just give the tube a little squeeze and after that it just keeps coming out with no pressure

I like the corafix glue by two little fishes, bought a bottle at the atlantis swap and still using it. Keeping it upright in the fridge has kept it from it from clogging on me, if you have it on its side the glue will spill out and cure inside the cap...making it harder to open. Don't have the gushing out problem either when i squeeze it hard, moment i toss it upright after applying it just sucks back into the tube. Use it fairly often cause I am clumsy and knock down corals.

The Ic gel is great stuff.
I perfer to use it when I'm glueing stuff under water.
The thinner one or extra thick glue and less expensive I use for the frags I'm glueing out side my tank.

Keeping the glue in the frezzer keeps the glue fresh and it won't glog. I get to use the glue to the last drop and don't have to squezze the heck out of the tube. I used to go threw the same problems before I started to store it in my frezzer. I learned this on RC a long time ago.
I hope this helps out.

I have no problems with IC gel. If you use toothpaste it should be a snap to master LOL.
BTW. Joe usually has it at LIRA meetings for $6 a tube. It also comes with 2 tips now. Not that I ever needed to change the tip.

I am a big fan if this stuff. I tried a number if glues over the years and this one stands out from all the rest IMO. One thing I do is wipe excess glue from the top before putting the cap back on and this really helps to prevent clogs.

This is what I use:

The tip gets "cured" every so often, but I just cut it beneath the cure and it works just as well (but tip is slightly thicker, of course)

I always get to use all the glue without any waste. I am able to spread it thin enough to cure almost instantly, or apply a huge amount to create a " new base" or connection for coral/rock.
