Default Krazy Glue / Gorilla Glue

This is sort of an FYI - I was going a little nuts trying to research whether using Gorilla Glue and or Krazy Glue for repairing/creating/modifying aquarium decorations was dangerous to the fish or water quality. All the articles that I read were either for or against with no definitive answer. I email Krazy Glue & Gorilla Glue and they replied fairly quick.

In the interest of "helping the next guy" the following is what they replied.

Hope it helps.

Dear ***,

Thank you for contacting us.

Krazy Glue is not toxic and is safe to use in fish tanks.

Sincerely,

Hi ***,

Thank for contacting the Gorilla Glue Company.
Gorilla Glue, the brown glue, is 100% waterproof and inert when it cures. This means it will not leach anything into the water so it will not harm your fish. You do, however, need to let the glue dry for a full 7 days before submerging it.
I hope this information is helpful. The Gorilla Glue Company is a family owned business that was built upon the belief in our products and our desire to respond to our customers’ needs. We appreciate you taking the time to contact us and if you have any additional questions or comments, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Mary-Ellen

Yeah, folks have been using the gel superglue for years..
Everything from repairing the impellers in power heads and filters, to gluing plants to rocks.
