[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 130574, member: 26980"] I've used super glue without any ill effects, but I let it dry for 24 hours first. I used epoxy on some decorations in my first enclosure built for my Versicolor with no ill effects. The main thing to consider is whether or not that glue is fully dried. I also rinse off the decorations first to remove any chemical smell that may be lingering. Many people also use hot glue guns and claim that when fully cooled, you're good to go. I haven't tried this and hot glue doesn't always work on all surfaces such as glass very well. Most of my creations are super glued into place including both tanks I had my Versicolor in, my P striata's enclosure where the branches are actually 2 joined and in my H pulchripes's cube where leaves are joined to cork bark. They all dried for at least 24 hours prior to the arrival of the sling. I've had zero problems. The glue must remain chemically stable if it gets wet. That is the main factor as well as being fully dry. [ATTACH=full]29944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29945[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29946[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
