I have a small deadwood feature on my one tree that is starting to get a little loose and I'm afraid it's eventually going to fall off. I was wondering if anyone had luck using super glue or anything else to help seal it and secure it better to the tree?
It's one of my favorite parts of the tree and I'd hate for it decay any further and fall off.
Any suggestions are welcome.

The cheapest super glue I can find is acetone based and turns a dull white when dried in the presence of water.
To me, that's perfect for deadwood that I use lime sulfur on.
 
I've used super glue and gorilla glue to repair both living and dead branches- deadwood- on several of my older trees with success. You want the repair to be hidden, so only use a small amount.
Great thanks! Exactly the answer I was looking for

That should work since I am currently using lime sulfer
