mojo Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hey all, anyone interested in adding a cyanoacrylate (Super Glue gel) group buy along with the next ARC meeting? Marc Levenson (president of DFWMAS and melev on Reef Central) and many members of his club use the generic form of cyano acrylate from Ca-Plus.com for mounting frags. This comes in 20g tubes (as opposed to the tiny 0.5g tubes that Super Glue gel comes in). I called Ca-Plus and a 20g tube would cost only $3.31 each. We can get the accelerator for $1.26 for a 1 oz bottle as well. If we do it as a group buy the shipping through UPS would almost be negligable. We could always delay this for the meeting that will involve a fragging workshop if folks like, but I'd prefer to just go ahead and get it now. If we want to do this for the next meeting I'll have to get a head count. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinvines Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Since the Elmer's gel I used takes an entire .5 tube to keep my leather on the rock notwithstanding the wandering turbo or 4, I am in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedude Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'm in for 3 tubes of the stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 OK, for those that haven't given a specific number desired, I'll assume 1 tube of cyanoacrylate for now. I'll also need a count for the accelerator. Again, this is a 1 oz. bottle and it lasts quite a long time, so I can't imagine anyone needing more than 1 or 2 of them. So the tally thus far is: Mojo - 25 gels, 4 accelerator Austinvines - 3 gels, 1 accelerator hammondegge - 12 gels, 1 accelerator GKarshens - 3 gels, 1 accelerator JoeK - 3 gels, 1 accelerator DHayden - 3 gels, 1 accelerator thedude - 3 gels bcoons - 3 gels, 1 accelerator Naturally the above numbers can change up until the time I place the order, and if you guys/gals want the accelerator, please post your desires. Hopefully all who plan to attend the next meeting will have a chance to eyeball this thread and place an order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeK Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Go ahead and adjust mine to 3 of the gel and 1 accel as well. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinvines Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 three gels and one accel. pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammondegge Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 and one accelerator plz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 I updated the previous total tally to reflect everyone's needs. As changes are made I'll continue to update the previous post on this first page so that everyone can easily see what I'll be ordering. When it's time to place the order I'll probably just go ahead and order extras, as there's no guarantee that everyone who will attend the meeting will have had a chance to see this thread. It looks like 3 gels/1 accelerator is in high demand! Now all we need is a meeting date ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 I spoke with the vendor for the gel, and they have plenty in stock. I'll need to close the group buy about 5 days before the meeting, so check your request to ensure you've got the right amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I am not going to be able to make the meeting. I will have to arrange to meet you later. I will be out of the country starting tomorrow until Aug. 6. So I will pm you when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 OK Gabriel, I'd be happy to hold on to your gel until you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcoons Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Looks like three tubes and the accel is the popular setup. Put me down for the 3+1. I just used the last of my gel glueing your little frag to my rock. Everything is doing well. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 OK Bruce, got ya. Glad to see that the monti frag did well, and I hope it grows out to a nice coral for you. If you want more, let me know. I'm going to close the group buy at the end of the week, so if others want to participate but haven't chimed in yet, please do so soon.

GKarshens Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 So I guess that we are still going to just settle up at the meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yep, we can just settle up at the meeting. The order went out today, so it's officially closed. I did end up ordering a few more of each so that others at the meeting can get some if they wish. gel = $3.31 accelerator = $1.26 I'll cover the shipping costs.
