Metal and Jewelry glue from Micheals. 3.99 for a 20g tube.

You have to keep the tip clean or else you'll glue the tip shut. I'm always having to cut the tube haha

I've been doing the same and it works great without burning the tissue off the chalice, but I havn't tried it with the reef2reef stamp. Maybe I'll do that next time to see if it is more aero dynamic.

Great video! Great technique! Thanks for sharing!

Your videos need an intro and theme song. I think if you took the "what's happening" intro and made it your own you could sell these videos to LFS. I'll play Rerun, just give me a week to find a red beret.

Haha, funny you say that... When I fix my media comp I was gonna edit some fancy fancies into it. I need to find a hot chick to be in the videos also.

Great job man. Mostly one handed, and definitely quick. Job well done. What brand of glue are you using?

You use that too huh. I thought I was the only one that knew about them LOL. Works great and way cheaper than the Ic gel glue.

I have a question. How do you frag a huge chalice? I want to know how you frag like a 6 inch Chalice and make very small frags like 1 eye frags. Thanks for doing this.

Everyone else,
Please keep your comments and opinions about smoking to yourselves.

Well it all depends really! Some people trim the outer edge of the chalice like a monti, or a toadstool coral and then cut that into pieces. I mean you can do it almost anyway really.... you could even throw it on the ground and use a razor to separate the flesh! :)
