Frag mounting idea

[mmiller40]

[I got several frags from DAS115 overthe weekend. He had some plastic looking frag mounts. On the way home I had an idea. I stopped by homedepot and bought several nylon screws and some super glue. I mounted all the frags to the screws. It worked really well. I don't know if the nylon has any drawbacks. I was able to literally screw in some frags to holes and cracks.

Someone else may have already discovered this but it sure beats paying for frag mounts. The screws are in all differant sizes and are about 8 cents each.]

[That is a great idea! Nylon is reef safe but wash it first just to be safe.]

[Mitch, I think one step needs to be added, because as you know I tried it myself.

Sand the surface of the teflon bolt to roughen it up first. Then it will bond much better.]

[I have started using ,arine epoxy after the super glue. It work well but sanding will prob make the glue work better.]

[I have a frag mounted like that but what is the ideal way to place on your live rock?]

[Press it somewhere where it won't move, or drill the LR with the same size masonry bit size as that nylon screw.]
