best way to glue corals downq

I got 2 little fishies red corraline epoxy and it works awesome. It also hardens in a couple of minutes so you don't need to watch the tank.
Take the coral out of the water, blot off any excess water from where you want to apply the glue on the coral plug. Generously apply glue, put directly into tank where you want it. Give it a little twist back & forth (the glue will 'skim' over as soon as it hits the water). Hold in place for about 10 seconds and you're good to go.
If it falls off, you probably didn't apply enough glue.

IC gel. i have used a bunch of glue and IC seems to be the strongest, dries the quickest, and always works. forget dollar store glue, it seems to be the same, but its not. IC gel even works on mushrooms for me. just dont put a small dot of glue, but then again dont cover the whole plug with it either. depending on what i am fragging, just a eraser size off a pencil dot of glue, put it in the water and hold it for 5-10 seconds, then place it on my frag rack. good to go!

The only problems I've had with dollar store crazy glue are gluing mushrooms or xenia. It works fine for everything else and its only a dollar for 3 small tubes!

Have any of you guys tried the BRS thick cyanoacrylate gel? It is awesome and works much better imo to ic.

No one carries the bigger tubes of IC gel anymore?
