Thanks to Rachael O'Leary for the idea of using cigarette filters to connect aquascaping materials together with cyanoacrylate super glue: • Cigarette Filters and ...
Simply hold two stones or pieces of driftwood together and where they meet, add one or two fluffed up cigarette filters and a squirt of super glue. After 24 hours it will dry and form an incredibly strong bond by increasing the surface area that is glued together. This works great!

Cotton balls. 100% pure cotton and super glue actually produces a thermal reaction - used often in R/C hobby for 'super' strong bonds and repairs. Additionally, light sprinkling of baking soda to quick set is also used.

[@asianangie7209]

That is a very beautiful driftwood and rock combo!

[@RiverLifeUS]

Great info! Driftwood to rock SOLVED!

[@Geneticlyinsane1]

Thanks for explaining this , i did catch it in Rachels video but just wasnt sure what the guy meant when he said about the filters

[@LickyMy9]

Realistically can’t you just use cotton balls?

[@Joshsmoove]

I hope everything is well. Noticed you haven't posted in a year. Great video and a great help as well.

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

great technique

[@umeshraghukarkeratabla6727]

Very good message

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Great video man! what about filter fiber?

[@steveallen3845]

Good tip !

[@sweetcornforthewin]

awesome tip

[@laraquerubin8250]

Thank you!!

[@DeFreeseAquariums]

Great info

[@leonorapierluissi1684]

Wow amazing video bro thankyou

[@hannahkinsy]

This video could have been 3 minutes long. It's a good idea. I'm not going to buy a pack of cigarettes just for this reason, but gives me ideas of other things I could use to the same affect.

[@sagarsheth3791]

Is it dangerous for our fish, cause of the filter or glue ??

[@stevencartagena5197]

Great video man

[@carmoscreations2802]

Great information! Do you think this method would work on attaching rocks to porous ceramic?

[@luannalovell]

thank you :)

[@DeeFromBrooklyn]

I Wonder if you can use filter floss instead of cigarette filter?

[@a4fishsingapore305]

Very good video. New subscrber. I am wondering can we use tissue paper for this?

[@bushchat]

It's a good idea but make sure the fiber stuff is properly covered with sand and glue. Otherwise the fishes like cichlids start to eat the fiber particles.

[@spartanhonor7538]

What? You bought cigarette butts? They can be picked up all over the ground for free.

[@gregkos8933]

My rocks and Driftwood have fallen apart. How long should I dry the peices before attempting to glue them ?

[@steviemichelle7271]

I would let them dry completely before attempting to reconnect them. How long that takes depends on the temperature and humidity. If you are running your heater at this time of year, somewhere near your heat source or vent would dry them faster. If you live where it’s dry and sunny outside at this time of year, the sun is your best friend

[@DrismonTor]

What is it swimming behind you? Lochness monster? 🤔

[@rogerbajillo1888]

How about cotton balls?

[@vickylim3669]

HI ! If I were to attach a driftwood to a rock and have super glue gel, do I still need the cigarette filter?

[@steviemichelle7271]

If you have a crack between the two pieces, then yes, you’ll need something to sort of “bridge the gap”. You can use cotton balls.

[@datambor]

...CA glue in water dissolves in relatively short time, some month, maybe 1 year. That's absolutely not permanent, you can use CA glue to set up a layout but you can't use it for structural purposes. Only epoxy is "permanent"...maybe...

[@silverjesus2815]

Does he actually do it or just talk about it?

[@stevesaquatics165]

Couldn't you just use clear silicone?

[@gregjonesonline]

Not as strong

[@stevesaquatics165]

@@gregjonesonline but isn't that what's holding your glass aquariums together 100% clear silicone?

[@EmmaLingP]

Using the gel superglue and cig filter is easier to work with

[@natedog2014]

I wished this worked.

[@Mr-zg4nw]

Is it common practice for my Aquarium Box owners to blow off paying customers?
