Title: glueing moss
Post by: kdt1 on May 02, 2018, 08:19:22 PM
fish keep pulling out my moss out of my mesh, so want to try superglue on slate rocks or tiles, so which superglue to use and who much dots lines our cover the surface, and what's the best thing to stick it to, want it like a carpet.

I have previously glued moss to a thin piece of filter sponge. I used Seachem Flourish glue in lines. The glue dries white, so can be visible, but when the moss grows and is trimmed it becomes more bushy and covers any glue marks. I'll also say that I had more success with the moss I cut into small pieces and dabbed onto the glued sponge, rather than trying to attac individual strands of moss.
It looks untidy to start with, but after a few trims the moss looks fine.

I'd say that they were around 1cm apart.
