silicon for driftwood

[terror]

will silicone stick on wet driftwood?
what would be a good glue to use tro stick some plastic on a wet driftwood?
that is also safe for fishes?

Try marine epoxy. Silicone is unlikely to adhere.

OOPS! I forgot that you are not USA. Here we have two or more brands which are fairly easy to find, I use 2 Little Fishies and have never had any toxicity in FW, BW, or SW. But I don't know the availability for you. Reefers use it routinely for coral fragments, and stores catering to reefers usually have the epoxies.

thanks marine epoxy are also easy to find here
how long does it take to dry?

because my anubias are already stuck to the wood.
i would like to add something that'll hold gravel near the anubias roots. so my anubias is on the wood... and it'll also have gravel

Faster than silicone by a wide margin - seconds to a few minutes for good set, even wet. I am unsure of maximum strength development time, as I rarely use it for things requiring strong bonds. With any luck, the package will specify both set and max. strength timing.
