Hey Trini I have looked and looked and came up with a few links to Thorite which is reef safe cement. Do a search on yahoo or something and you should be able to find some info. It can be used underwater from what I have read.

How big is the rubble piece? If it's small, why not just glue it using superglue (like you use to attach fragds to LR)?

Aquaneedit. Its a putty for use in underwater environements. I also use SuperGlu GEL, not the liquid.

I had read on here the other day someone said they use the same super glue for fragging & they just stick it underwater real quick & to the piece of rock. They also make aquatic epoxy.

I use super glue gel and if you put it against the target rock quick enough you can do it underwater. The salt water actually helps speed the cementation process. You just have to be quick or you make a mess and it doesn't stick well...

If your wondering if you can put the actual tube of glue under water then yes you can, but you might as well consider it wasted if you don't use the whole tube. It will dry the tip pretty good, but you can also punch a hole in the tube to use the rest!

It's best to scrap or brush off the target rock first. The glue will have something to bind to then.
