Loctite

[robadk1]

I have recently purchased a plastic Bonsai Tree. The tree contains several parts(Trunk, tree, and branches.) Anywho I was wanting to glue these parts togother since they seem to be fairly loose, and there will be no interchanging of parts(I'm not even sure why it's made like that... better shipping I suppose.) So my question is this.

Is "Loctite Stik'n Seal" Aquarium safe? It's A Waterproof Adhesive that bonds brick, wood, glass, rubber, Metal, plastic, fiberglass, leather.

I would only use aquarium silicone or the glue used for attaching corals.

 

[mellowvision]

I doubt it.

 

[robadk1]

I've never used silicone for plastic, only glasswork.(then again, I only in last few months started my aquariums.
I'll probably do that since I have to get some for touch up work on another tank I picked up.

But does anyone know for sure one way or another?

Sorry I can't say. Is there an 800 # or something somewhere on the packaging that you could call & find out? Even at that I don't think I would risk using it.
Best to stick with stated aquarium products.

Sounds smart, I just had the Loctite sitt'n around, thought I'd ask.

I would advise not using anything "Loctite" on anything aquarium related unless it says so on the label. This is not a slam against Loctite but play it safe and, like the others said, stick with aquarium safe products.

Loctite makes some serious industrial grade stuff and that is where most of their market is.

I would use silicone sealer or a aquarium epoxy.

 

[J double R]

silicone or aquarium epoxy only is the safe bet.

 

[loaches r cool]

I beleive I was looking at that a while back in the store... does it say something on the back like not meant for continous use underwater?
