Glue Gun

my lfs sells aquarium silicon sealant for $1.99 so i wouldn't risk it when its such a easy cheap trip to the lfs. since they don't get my fish buying business, i think they should atleast get some merchandise business, right?

Thats cheap. I bought some to put the backing on on my tank years ago. It was about £8.

Oh it was just a ceramic bridge decor that I accidentally broke in half while scrubbing the algae off of it.

If it's a shelf or some strong supporting structure then I wouldn't reccomend using a glue gun since the glue can be easily peeled off.

Superglue would fix that a treat !

Thats amazingly cheap! Over here aquarium safe silicone costs £7.95 from maidenhead aquatisc (one of the largest retailers here) - thats almost $16!

Since its hot glue, I'm assuming it's not safe to boil?

why would you want to boil the glue? to melt it?

I'm guessing hes planning to boil some rocks? Maybe to kill off bacteria or clean the rocks?

Yup, I want to make a little hut out of slate

How big are the tubes of silicone your talking about? I got 2 little tubes for about $5.

I use mr. sticky's underwater glue. It works great and can be put back in the tank in very quickly.
