The only two part I use.
| Comments |
As long as you make sure that both surfaces are dry this epoxy will hold.In my opinion as with all two part epoxy's I do not use it for soft corals,because as it cures it tends to put off heat which can damage soft coral tissue.Excellent product.

Keeps all your SPS and LPS in place.Easy to mix and gives you a acceptable working time before hardening.

Doesn't secure corals that great
| Comments |
It isnt too easy to secure corals with this epoxy, if you are trying to apply this product underwater, it will hardly stick at all. If you want to make sure that your corals are really stuck down, take the rock out that you are securing it to and dry it out a little in the place you want to put your coral and then really mold the epoxy onto both your coral and the rock and then stick them both together and wait a minute before putting it back into the tank.

When you get it to cure, it is nice and strong and will prevent corals from falling, so there aren't any problems with turbo snails or anything else pushing your expensive corals off of rocks into the sand. Also this product is very easy to use.

If you are trying to use it on wet surfaces it doesn't like to stick, so I would suggest drying off both surfaces atleast a little before applying the epoxy and then let it cure out of water for a couple of minutes.

Great stuff to have handy!
| Comments |
Performs well, mixes easily, dries quickly. Good stuff.

It's easy to mix and bonds to nearly any dry surfaces. I just recently used it to patch up a tiny leak I was having between compartments of my sump that are at two different water levels.

I haven't tried to use this underwater yet, but I think all epoxy loses its "stickiness" underwater or at least in saltwater. So, I'm betting this isn't great to "stick" frags to live rock. Rather, you'd probably have to mold the frag or coral to the live rock in a way that's sturdy until the epoxy dries. Nonetheless, it's a great product.

Very Useful for aquscaping
| Comments |
I used two tubes of this product to construct my LR setup. It gives you ample time to mould and place the puddy into position before placing your rock in the desired position. Great for attaching LPS or SPS corals to your LR. Can also be used to mould your own frag plugs. Create any shape you want!

Easy to use. Simply mash the two colors together unil white.
Sets quickly but takes 24 hours to completely harden

Liked to stick to my fingers more than the LR I was trying to place it on.

Very important to have some around
| Comments |
Just cut off a small section, knead it for a minute or two and your ready to go. It cures underwater. Larger snails and hermit crabs can knock unsecured corals down to the tank floor. This can cause stress and possible tissue damage. Once you use some of this, problem solved.
Its not like super glue. Its not an instant stick.....You need to hold the item in place with some pressure for a minute or two.

This stuff is a "must have" for a reef

It is very white in the tank. Soon my coralline algae should cover it and won't be noticeable , a SMALL price to pay.

As advertised
| General |
The proverbial fragging/rock placement tool for everyone in the hobby. Take a small ball from the stick, roll it in your fingers, add a little superglue gel to the top and bottom of the ball and stick it where you want it. Add the second peice of whatever you want to bond and wait for about 3 mins. Now you have one peice. There are less costly alternatives of almost the same product in the glue isle of your local Lowes or Home Depot. |
