Superglue to attach ooth?

[Extrememantid]

Hey guys,

I don't have a low heat glue gun so could I use super glue to attach my ooth to a stick?

Thanks,

Cole

I have read online that one can use Super Glue. I'm hoping Elmer's Glue is okay, as I used this yesterday.

Use blue tac I always use and it works a treat. I'd worry about the solvents in super glue.

I would use Elmer's as a second choice to hot glue gun. Good luck with your ooth

Is there a type of Elmer's glue that can be sprayed without getting sticky? If not, I wouldn't directly spray your ooth and would mist the enclosure instead.

I tried super glue once when I was out of hot glue. It seemed like it seeped into the ooth. I can't remember if it hatched.

Nowadays I only use hot glue, and I let it cool a bit before attaching the ooth.

You can always do a search on "elmer's glue" to see what others have said in the past.

Thanks so much! And the same sentiment back to you. Please let us know how it turns out.

Yup. Cyanoacrylate wicks deep into joints by capillary action. You'd run the risk of gluing some nymphs into their ooth. White glue would be safe, but you'd have to contend with the long drying time.
