Attaching moss

Submitted by ben on 9/20/05 at 4:01 PM. ( ) 66.82.9.66

I'm putting together a habitat with moss on an artificial rock I made. It's mood moss from McKenzie and I was wondering what are the better glues to hold it in place - elmers, hot glue, ?. This sounds like a stupid question but want to make sure it stays in place a long long time.

and like the hot glue better It seems to me that the moss soaks up the elmers glue to much cause I have problems with it holding. The only problem I have with the hot glues is the strings. The next time I am going to try silicon or something unless someone gives you a better option to try or I will just look In the archives to see if it has aready been covered.

I use this on a lot of base work and never ran into any holding problems.
