aquamend question?

reefermike1 · 04-06-2007, 11:23 AM

got a stick of aquamend underwater epoxy. my question is how strong is it? if i use a small amount to glue a rock or a frag to another rock, would i be able to break it back off or would the rock break before the aquamend?

The aquamend will generally break off where it connects one of your pieces first. It might take a little bit of rock with it, but just pope it off with a large screwdriver and it usually breaks fine.

cool, thanks. also flyguy i know youre a big sps guy, do u break your frags off that ceramic peg and glue them, or just find a hole and stick them in? or break most of the peg off and glue the remaining ceramic?

Depending on the size of the frag, I usually cut them 1/2" or so above the base or encrusted piece. I then glue the top part i cut off in a ideal spot and then either trim the base of the plug off with a dremel and glue it in my other tank or in a different spot in the same tank.

Bonus frag.
