Can I repair Manzanita Wood for my tank?

[32blownhemi]

I ordered a piece of Manzanita Wood on-line & just got it this morning. Opened the box & 4 pieces had broken off of the main piece. I can see where 2 of them go. Is there a way I can repair this? Glue? Or? Thank You! Bill

Depending on the size, gel type super glue may work. Aquarium silicone will as well, though there is a drying/curing phase. Depending on the thickness, predrilling holes and using stainless steel screws can be used to hold pieces together.

Thank You Fresh! I think Super Glue will work I was just worried about poisoning the water with a toxic chemical... Bill

Super glue is fine. Just use a small amount. Any excess will turn an unsightly white color and could detract from the decor. Use the gel type as it will not run.

Thank You Fresh20! I'll make sure I get the gel. Bill
