Seachem Flourish Glue

I have to admit, I was scared to use this after reading the other reviews. I’m usually one of those people that ends up with glue on everything. I avoid crafting. I had terrible images of the fish getting the glue on them, or accidentally gluing their mouths shut if they picked at the plants. I decided to carefully go ahead with this glue anyway. Preparation is key! Set up everything you want to do beforehand. I opened the tube of glue, and some did come out, but not a lot. I didn’t want to put the plastic applicator back on with some of the glue already coming out, so I just used it straight out of the tube. I dipped the bottom of the plant in the glue and stuck it right on the driftwood. You don’t even have to hold it down, once the glue is wet, it already hardens. It worked really fast, and dried so quick, the fish couldn’t get into it, lol. I had read that other users tried the glue on non- organic material, without any success. I want to overhaul my tank with new decorations, starting with a river made from sea glass. When I applied the glue to the glass, it just stayed wet and wouldn’t firm up, so I ran it under water since the water is the activator. That did the trick. If the water is too high in pressure, the glue will spread, so you just need to dip it in water and it will start to harden. It does turn white, so plan where you will put everything to hide the adhesive side. Thankfully, no fish were injured in this attempt, and I’m glad I bought this stuff! I can’t wait to finish redecorating my tank :). Update to my review: My fish pulled a few of the plants back off, so I had to wedge them into the driftwood as well as glue them. So far, it has worked. The sea glass river turned out really well. The fish picked at the glue a little bit, but they are fine. I’m sooo happy I bought this stuff, it was a real game changer. I’m in love with my tank again :).

Works as intended. Holds plants to wood and stone for aquarium. Can use to hold wood pieces together as well. I recommend using gloves as it will adhere to skin.

This stuff is just like regular o'l crazy glue, that smells the same, acts the same, and comes in a small metal/foil tube just with a different name (Seachem). Went with this name brand as Seachem has been around for awhile and said specifically for plants, rocks, wood etc. This stuff does adhere to the skin, but no worries I got it right off with warm water and one of the aquarium clay rings (also purchased here on Amazon) by rubbing it against my fingers like a scrubbing sponge motion. I read the different reviews and took a chance by purchasing. I glued together a small tiny plant to a clay ring and then to a rock and ran water over it, as others suggested for best adhesion to adhere under water, but it quickly turned the glue white and started to have residue coming off of it, while the outer side of the glue did harden a tad bit, the glue underneath was still squishy and that's how I managed to get it on my fingers for touching where I glued. Which I wouldn't recommend gluing it that way while submerged/or with water period. I did take my first trial run out of the water so it could dry better and wet the plant so it wouldn't dry out. As I said before, this stuff being like crazy glue, yes I did a 2nd trial run with one more clay ring...applied the glue and adhered the plant in place to the clay ring and let it set for about a minute without placing in water, where it hardened and it did not turn as white. In both trials the adhesion bond was successful except the first trial took longer to dry due to being submerged in water and the 2nd trial was quicker. Both plants are submerged fully in my beta bowls, and neither the female nor the male have bothered the plants and the fish have not reacted in any bad way to the use of the Seachem glue, it's been about 4 hours now. Everything still held together, no separation of rocks, plants, or clay rings. I'll update if that happens, as some reviews stated their items were floating around by the next day and that the glue didn't work well. Again I'd glue your pieces and then let dry so it could set to harden, then add to water. Directions says to hold pieces together for 20 seconds but really may need longer. The price was ok for 2 small vials, but like I said again it's just like crazy glue size and all, can get 3-10 vials at a knock off dollar store for about a dollar and some change 😂, just Seachem glue is gel like and not overly liquid like crazy glue. I liked the appearance of my 2nd trial better as the glue was dry and hard before placing it in water, again not much white.

I got tired of trying to attach my moss to the driftwood in my tank with string/wire and found this when looking for a better alternative. I glued these down probably 2-3 months ago and they’ve stayed in place very well. Dries quickly like superglue , the only down side I saw is it can dry with a white tone instead of clear but as long as the glue is on the bottom it’s not noticeable !

The smell is not bad the quality of this glue is great. It's holds great. It has helped my tank out a lot.

It does what it’s supposed to do and it’s safe to use in the tank, so no real complaints there. It holds plants and hardscape well enough once it sets. That said, it’s basically just aquarium-branded super glue at a higher price. It also dries pretty fast in the tube, which is annoying if you don’t use it all at once. Not bad, just feels overpriced for what it is. I’d probably go with a cheaper alternative next time.

Works really well! I used it in a freshwater tank, it stuck my anubias nana to a petrified driftwood perfectly. Definitely don’t get it on your fingers on accident, but comes off easy with a scrub. I don’t have a lot of plants, so I can’t say for sure how long it’ll last you, but I can say that for however long it does it’ll be great for the job.

Its a small tube and doesnt go very far but does a good job gluing plants to rock, wood and foam. I was ale to use to for many things in the tank but be warned, even after being dried the glue seems to turn white when it touches water and is unsightly. I fixed this by adding more glue, lol, with moss on top to hide it. Its possible the glue wasnt fully dry before it got wet, but if thats the case then it takes a long while to fully dry. Just be prepared for that or spot test some on some card board or something to see before gluing everything.

Great for putting together live plants on driftwood for tank display. Excellent product.

Don't buy

Wir haben unsere Deko mit Tillandsien nur mithilfe dieses Klebers fertigstellen können. Allerdings dauerte es einige Zeit, bis wir dahinter kamen, warum die Wurzel trotz etlicher Versuche weder auf Kunststoff noch auf Holz halten wollte! Man muss beide Seiten mit einem Klecks Kleb versehen, aneinanderdrücken und dann die Klebstelle .....mit Wasser besprühen! Erst wenn der Klebstoff mit Feuchtigkeit in Berührung kommt, hält er endlich und das wirklich gut. Wäre vielleicht einen Hinweis wert gewesen, da ich das ganze schon enttäuscht zurückschicken wollte und dann die Lösung auf Youtube fand, auf einem Bastel-Video! Also lieber Hersteller, bitte mit den dringend notwendigen Infos versehen. Sonst alles gut:)

it can get on your fingers but it was no big deal for me came right off. but be careful. works great

Highly recommended product for planted aquarium
