743 Glue to Stick Rocks & Driftwoods for Aquascaping

743 Glue to Stick Rocks & Driftwoods for Secure Aquascape Builds

Build and stabilise aquarium hardscape with an adhesive made for joining rocks, driftwood and other aquascaping materials. 743 Glue can also help attach aquatic plants such as Anubias and Java fern to hardscape, or reinforce pieces that are difficult to position securely.

For larger gaps or a more concealed join, the product instructions recommend using tissue paper with the adhesive. Clean and dry the surfaces before applying, hold the pieces together while the bond begins to set, and allow the adhesive to cure fully before placing the hardscape in the aquarium. The product information describes the cured bond as water-resistant and safe for aquatic life.
