Superglue Moss

[russchilds]

Hi,

I have a Juwel Stone backround. I want to have Moss growing out of some of the rockwork. Can I just superglue moss? If so whats the best way?

Also what Moss would be best?

Many thanks!!

I superglued the the moss to my manzi wood in my current scape, was easy to do. Just dont use super runny super glue.
Did experience a very small amount of dieback on a few bits but the fresh growth soon took over.

So easy!

I use cyanoacrylate gel - (think it's Loctite brand) after a recommendation from someone on here. the important bit is to make sure it's cyanoacrylate glue as this is non-toxic, unlike some other glues
Cheers!

I agree that gel is the way forward as its really easy to use and you can also minimise the amount you use with a little 'dob' instead of an unsightly 'splodge' . A tip as well is it turns white if it comes into contact with water when drying so bear this in mind if the area will be visible.
