Flourish Glue

I have to admit, I was scared to use this after reading the other reviews. I’m usually one of those people that ends up with glue on everything. I avoid crafting. I had terrible images of the fish getting the glue on them, or accidentally gluing their mouths shut if they picked at the plants. I decided to carefully go ahead with this glue anyway. Preparation is key! Set up everything you want to do beforehand. I opened the tube of glue, and some did come out, but not a lot. I didn’t want to put the plastic applicator back on with some of the glue already coming out, so I just used it straight out of the tube. I dipped the bottom of the plant in the glue and stuck it right on the driftwood. You don’t even have to hold it down, once the glue is wet, it already hardens. It worked really fast, and dried so quick, the fish couldn’t get into it, lol. I had read that other users tried the glue on non- organic material, without any success. I want to overhaul my tank with new decorations, starting with a river made from sea glass. When I applied the glue to the glass, it just stayed wet and wouldn’t firm up, so I ran it under water since the water is the activator. That did the trick. If the water is too high in pressure, the glue will spread, so you just need to dip it in water and it will start to harden. It does turn white, so plan where you will put everything to hide the adhesive side. Thankfully, no fish were injured in this attempt, and I’m glad I bought this stuff! I can’t wait to finish redecorating my tank :). Update to my review: My fish pulled a few of the plants back off, so I had to wedge them into the driftwood as well as glue them. So far, it has worked. The sea glass river turned out really well. The fish picked at the glue a little bit, but they are fine. I’m sooo happy I bought this stuff, it was a real game changer. I’m in love with my tank again :).

Its a small tube and doesnt go very far but does a good job gluing plants to rock, wood and foam. I was ale to use to for many things in the tank but be warned, even after being dried the glue seems to turn white when it touches water and is unsightly. I fixed this by adding more glue, lol, with moss on top to hide it. Its possible the glue wasnt fully dry before it got wet, but if thats the case then it takes a long while to fully dry. Just be prepared for that or spot test some on some card board or something to see before gluing everything.

This stuff is just like regular o'l crazy glue, that smells the same, acts the same, and comes in a small metal/foil tube just with a different name (Seachem). Went with this name brand as Seachem has been around for awhile and said specifically for plants, rocks, wood etc. This stuff does adhere to the skin, but no worries I got it right off with warm water and one of the aquarium clay rings (also purchased here on Amazon) by rubbing it against my fingers like a scrubbing sponge motion. I read the different reviews and took a chance by purchasing. I glued together a small tiny plant to a clay ring and then to a rock and ran water over it, as others suggested for best adhesion to adhere under water, but it quickly turned the glue white and started to have residue coming off of it, while the outer side of the glue did harden a tad bit, the glue underneath was still squishy and that's how I managed to get it on my fingers for touching where I glued. Which I wouldn't recommend gluing it that way while submerged/or with water period. I did take my first trial run out of the water so it could dry better and wet the plant so it wouldn't dry out. As I said before, this stuff being like crazy glue, yes I did a 2nd trial run with one more clay ring...applied the glue and adhered the plant in place to the clay ring and let it set for about a minute without placing in water, where it hardened and it did not turn as white. In both trials the adhesion bond was successful except the first trial took longer to dry due to being submerged in water and the 2nd trial was quicker. Both plants are submerged fully in my beta bowls, and neither the female nor the male have bothered the plants and the fish have not reacted in any bad way to the use of the Seachem glue, it's been about 4 hours now. Everything still held together, no separation of rocks, plants, or clay rings. I'll update if that happens, as some reviews stated their items were floating around by the next day and that the glue didn't work well. Again I'd glue your pieces and then let dry so it could set to harden, then add to water. Directions says to hold pieces together for 20 seconds but really may need longer. The price was ok for 2 small vials, but like I said again it's just like crazy glue size and all, can get 3-10 vials at a knock off dollar store for about a dollar and some change 😂, just Seachem glue is gel like and not overly liquid like crazy glue. I liked the appearance of my 2nd trial better as the glue was dry and hard before placing it in water, again not much white.

Have to use a little more than a dab to get plants to stick to rocks or corkwood. Ran out quick but works great, Turtle loves to try and mess with hornwood, but he met his match. Buy bigger tube or 2 small right away you'll need it.

You can always count on this brand to make quality products that are safe to use in the aquarium. I bought the tube to seal together some rocks and also to stick Christmas moss to some netting to begin growing a wall of greenery to hide the filter in my nano tank. It is a gel that bonds very quickly , even under water. Use a small amount of glue to keep it invisible. Big globs will dry white. Perfect for bonding plant rhizomes that need to be above the gravel, to driftwood and decorations where you want it to grow. You put a small bead of glue on your plant stem or rhizome and hold it 15 seconds to whatever you want it to grow on. Java Fern and Anubias are ideal candidates for this type of decorating. Be sure to wipe the nozzle before you replace the cap. This will adhere to your fingers the same way that other super glues do

Pretty pricy for something that does not last long. Tubes are really small and i didn’t get much use out of them. There are other glues out there with the same ingredient that come in easily dispensed tubes and seal easily and quickly so you don’t waste any.

Works as intended. Holds plants to wood and stone for aquarium. Can use to hold wood pieces together as well. I recommend using gloves as it will adhere to skin.

Great product for aquascaping and is safe to use in my freshwater tank. No issues with plants sticking to driftwood or dragonstone Don’t forget to wear gloves when using this.

Don't buy

Wir haben unsere Deko mit Tillandsien nur mithilfe dieses Klebers fertigstellen können. Allerdings dauerte es einige Zeit, bis wir dahinter kamen, warum die Wurzel trotz etlicher Versuche weder auf Kunststoff noch auf Holz halten wollte! Man muss beide Seiten mit einem Klecks Kleb versehen, aneinanderdrücken und dann die Klebstelle .....mit Wasser besprühen! Erst wenn der Klebstoff mit Feuchtigkeit in Berührung kommt, hält er endlich und das wirklich gut. Wäre vielleicht einen Hinweis wert gewesen, da ich das ganze schon enttäuscht zurückschicken wollte und dann die Lösung auf Youtube fand, auf einem Bastel-Video! Also lieber Hersteller, bitte mit den dringend notwendigen Infos versehen. Sonst alles gut:)

Highly recommended product for planted aquarium

استخدمته في لصق النبات على الخشب داخل حوض السمك جيد وايضا في لزق الخشب مع الخشب يعمل بشكل ممتاز

No one likes a floater, certainly not a serious aquaristscaper like moi, oh no no no, that wont do! I set up a new aquascape recently, using co2, tropica plant substrate etc, a massive java fern, 8 various anubias varieties from small to massive, water sprites, crypts, rotalas and a few more other plants and all was well until i did my first big water change, nearly all my plants floated to the top, and after occurring the day after and the day after that, i decided to glue ALL my plants, not just the java ferns and anubias plants, which were fine as they were glued onto a huge piece of bogwood, but my rotalas have barely any roots yet, and the crypts just wanted to dance along the bottom of the tank, so i found small dark stones to match the substrate and glued 4 or 5 stems of rotala to one stone, and bingo, i repeated this several times with about 25 rotala stems and planted them all together in a big group, the same with the crypts and other plants. I am sure they will root now that they are more stable in the substrate, now all i need to do is buy several pots of monte carlo and split the pots in maybe 2 or 3 so the plants root more quickly. On the whole, this glue is alright, it does dry white but not a problem when using epiphytes on wood or rocks as you only need a small amount of glue, the plants will dig in soon enough, so top marks for this product, certainly helped make my tank look much better than it did at first, awesome =)
