glue, peat, water mixture...I am SO bad at this

[rhynearson]

I gave it my first go yesterday and attempted to use the 1/3 peat, water, and gorilla glue mix on a tank I am working on.

As this is my first attempt, I have no idea what I am doing!

I mixed the peat, water and glue together...it got really hard really quickly and stuck in clumps in my mixing bucket

-am I supposed to mix the peat and water and apply it to glue that has been spread on the tank?
-does the bubbliness of the glue ever disappear?

!!Help Please!!

And a little heads up for anyone else deciding to try their hand at this WEAR GLOVES!

Are you putting this on the inside of the tank?

Is this going into a tank for Axolotls and what type of glue are you using?

With any of these concoctions, be sure to try it on a "test surface" (and let it dry) before actually trying it with a tank. Where did you hear that it was OK to use Gorilla Glue? I've never heard of putting this in an aquarium.

I actually think I got the fgorilla glue idea from this site...I'll go back and try to find the post.

I was just testing to see how this would work, and it seems to have dried pretty well..
It was supposed to have been a good top coat for great stuff, I don't think it would actually protect it from mositure though.

The tank isn't for anything in particular, just seeing what I could do. I want to have a vivarium with plants and moss, etc.
