That's a VERY accurate reenactment of my sentiments regarding epoxy.

BOO.

So is it going to stop eventually?? Jeeebus. I am not a happy camper. The D-D stuff was hard as rock too, not nice at all to work with. I've always used the cheaper Holdfast brand in the past (http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=mc-hfast ) and this has never happened with that stuff. In fact, I only bought the D-D because I was out of Holdfast, and apparently D-D is the only epoxy Gold Aquariums carries. I'll be sure to tell Dennis about this next time I'm in. This stuff is junk.

Eww. Holdfast is even worse, in my opinion. It just crumbles and DOESN'T stick...like trying to use scotch tape to hold down your coral.

I don't get why we can't get a @$#%& stick of epoxy that actually works, and DOESN'T send the tank into a frenzy. We can go to the moon, switch inner organs and clone sheep. But nooooo....a stick of epoxy that works is just too hard.

Meh.

See? I feel your frustration

P.S. Your skimmer will stop....eventually. At least it's not hanging on the back of your tank, in a carpeted living room *relives bad memory*...

Weird. I never had the green stick stuff go crumbly on me. Bad batch maybe? For me it kneads into a bubble gum consistency. Now mind you, it's totally not sticky, but I don't think it's meant to be.

But yeah. Wow. This is fun. Kicked off some carbon in there for now and hopin' for the best. Sheeesh.

Try the AquaStik Epoxy Putty by Two Little Fishies. I get it from O/A. It's not great but a lot better than that D/D crap and others I have tried.
