[timmmmy55]

hey there, sorry for putting in the wrong post i think?
but i was wondering what is a good puddy to use to hold rocks together in a tank instead of buying the expencive stuff at the LPS?

thank you

Putty, not puddy.

LPS is large polyp stony coral. You mean LFS

Really, not much. It's not that expensive for what you use, and other non purpose stuff can have metal shavings or other nasty stuff in it. I think JL is about $12/tube? Pretty cheap.

Or, some people prefer glue. Just regular gel crazy glue is fine. Dollar store stuff.

I use Elmer's Marine Epoxy Putty. Works fine & is dirt cheap at a local discount Mart. 2oz (57 gram) stick in plastic tube with blue packaging. 15 to 25 minute working time & cures in 60 minutes, even underwater.

Well I reckon you'll need to brave the Coquihalla & make a trip to Vernon . The local Mart I referred to in my earlier post sells the stuff for $3 something, so <$4. Used to be the Welk Mart, but has changed ownership this year & has a new name, which escapes me at the moment. No matter, it's the same great little store downtown where you can spend hours in just looking at all the cool as well as tacky stuff they have. Between that place & Surplus Herby's (The Craziest Store In Town!) I can easily kill an afternoon or evening.

Look for the stuff in a discount or Dollar Store, the big box outlets like Home Hardware don't typically sell items like this at a high discount. Surely you have some nifty little corner discount stores somewhere in Burnaby??

EDIT: On the other hand..... seeing the post about the 4oz stick at J&L for $10.75, I guess it's best you don't slip & slide all over the highway to get to the Welk Mart here in Vernon, you get twice the amount for about the same money from J&L and they're right in your back yard in Burnaby.
