Anyone else that has received the Glue want to do a review for us?I know you are out there!

well, i finished changing over to my new system today and spent the afternoon attaching frags.
the "silicone frag glue" was amazing. wow, talk about easy to use... never seen such plyable stuff. it takes seconds to mix it and its ready to go. and yes it sets fast!! very pleased.
(can't tell you how many different glues and puttys i have lying around unused because they suck.)

this stuff has little smell, looks like bubble gum (only softer) and it doesnt get soupy or fall apart or go soft when u place it in the tank .
gota get me some more:mrgreen:

Glad you love the frag Glue! Thanks for the review, looking for more as I think others should have theirs by now too.

Would this be suitable for rock work also? I have a bunch of structure work to do thanks to Kien :tongue:. I might have to add this to my order :wof:

i did use some for my structure to secure a small rock. it holds fast and strong. i havn't tried it with large builds.

This stuff is so much better than the others I've tried. The only way I could get the others to work decently was to put some cyanoacrylate glue on the frag and then on the putty before sticking it to the rockwork. The OC-Coralstick, however, works great all by itself. It is easy to mix and hardens quickly. I am impressed!

Review
 
Ok what a busy day,took photos hrs. ago but had new local salty people over..1000 questions later :)

This is the sweet container the OC coralSTICK comes in,it has a lock that you have to peel to get at the goods.I can use this container later for additives :)

Here's the putty one is white the other a bubble gum pink.Nice weight,quite a bit of product here.

Here's the sloped area behind the bubble coral where i have mounted frags before,only to have them fall off minutes later.

Here's an atlantis pink polyp cap mounted,it's no small frags it's 5x4

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79...1/DSC00433.jpg

See the angle it's mounted at,probably 30 degrees

Next was mounting a purple gorg,it's not happy after being out of the water for a few seconds.Quite an angle,and i cleaned the side glass minutes after puttying it,thrashing it around.Didn't move :)

I give this OC Product a 2 thumbs up !! Sooo soft and nice to work with.No real smell,no pink stained fingers for the rest of the day.Doesn't get slimey or cloud the water at all.Doesn't start to fall apart under water while your moving it around.Didn't make my skimmer overflow like others i have used.And mounting frags or colonys at an angle is totally possible as in 2 minutes it's set.Thanks Oceanic Corals for letting me try this fine product in your ever increasing lineup of cutting edge products.
