Does anyone know of an adhesive that can be effectively applied underwater and cause no toxicity concerns? Asking a lot, I know...alternately, something that could be applied to a clean.dry surface and then very quickly submersed into the tank?
I am trying to adhere strips of glass to an epoxy (Pond Shield) surface in a plywood tank, to facilitate the creation of a Matten filter. The joint is not going to be subjected to a great deal of stress in any direction (hopefully); the glass strips are simply running vertically down the tank sides to keep the filter sheet stable. But it will need to be a long-term solution, not something that will simply fall apart after a short time. I know some folks use Super Glue for smaller quick repairs, or to attach Java Ferns, etc. to wood. Is there something along those lines that comes in, say, a larger tube and has a bit more thickness and body?
The filter in question is well-established for several years, but was originally cut a wee bit too short and doesn't want to stay in place without some coaxing. It's been propped up with rocks, driftwood, plastic rods...you name it...all this time and I am sick of playing with it. Any and all suggestions appreciated.
