Yes. If it's not gel though you will have a hard time using it as it will be very runny.

If you'd sell it for the same price as three bottles of gel for a buck, I'd try it.

Yup, I believe after you add all 3 tubes you are about the cost of 1 of my glue, considering price and usage. Typically you don't get everything out of each tube *lose about 20-30% usage* plus you have to use each tube every use or it will clog up the tip.

2g = .07 oz.

.21 oz. per 3 pack for $1

So $10's worth is about 2.1 oz. Mine is around $12 @ LFS for 2 oz. + no clogging and usage is about 90% compared to 70%. I'd say its just as good. Also typically when using GEL you use more to frag compared to my glue.

I've tried ocean wonders Gel 1 oz. x 2 = 2 oz.
fraggable- 60-65 frags (depending on type of frags)

Ray's Reef Glue 2 oz. Bottle
fraggable- 95-120+ frags (depending on type of frags)
