Acrylic glue, omninest and substrate

Hi,
Acrylic glue should be fine for the acrylic glass in the omninests right? It's not a toxic glue is it? I was thinking about using acrylic glue to stick small stones around the floor entrance to the omninest outworld so i can add a substrate to it without it falling down into the main nest. Is this a good idea or?
Also would gluing the mesh in place in the hydration system be okay or would that be a bad idea and probably prevent the capillary action from working? I've seen stuff about potential escapes around the mesh. Should I just reinforce it with cotton instead? :thinking:

I've heard acrylic glue slightly melts the acrylic, thus fusing the pieces together and I've seen people use it in their nests so you should be fine.
Also i don't think mesh will affect anything so you're good with that
