![]() Ended up buying some of the vertex epoxy. wow that is on my top 5 list of worst smells ever. The gloves were crap and I got some on my hands. I think I've scrubbed my hands like 10x and they still smell awful. Guess I'll have to have some thicker gloves on hand for the next round. As epoxies go, it worked better than the other couple brands I have used. I'd give it two thumbs up but one is pinching my nose shut

I'm in the process of aquascaping with the DD AquaScape Milliput epoxy and not liking the set time. How quickly does the Vertex epoxy set? Was it difficult getting the smell out of your fingers ? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. |

I have been using milliput to place frags for a long time, and works great for me.

![]() Thanks for the quick response.
No I did not microwave the epoxy. How quick will it set after its been microwaved? I'm also looking for opinions between the Vertex and Milliput epoxies for aquascaping. Last edited by byee; 07-10-2014 at 04:45 PM. |

![]() Switched to Vertex last year and love it. Sets faster, but still ample time to get it molded and set in place before it becomes to hard. Sticks well under water and colour blends well with the rocks. Yep, stinks...but no worse then a dead snail or overdue skimmer clean : )

![]() I use the vertex epoxy as well. It has a really quick set time, around the minute mark. And it won't make ur water cloudy or mess with your skimmer. Great stuff. Holds like a mofo too!!!

![]() I will never use the vertex one ever again. My skimmer overflowed for a week. It only stopped after I did a water change. I use the redsea stuff from petsmart at 8 dollars best deal and I use the hobby store super glue. Best combo for me so far.

Bro..... Having used 15 tubes in a 70 gallon tank one, I find this hard to comprehend unless you didn't thoroughly mix the components. Did the product heat up in your hands while you were mixing it? LMK, this stuff rocks and I'd hate for you to quit on it without having first sorting through the issue!

![]() I find vertex horrible, it isn't tacky enough and really doesn't hold well. I am on my second tube and find it bad. I really like d&d , very sticky, glues well and is manageable. In future I will be buying d&d
