I just mounted 16 frags without an issue in about 10 minutes. I love this stuff.

tip. Keep your fingers wet when your kneading it, it won't stick to you that way.

OK, that sounds appropriate for SPS frags. I have a mushroom and a small piece of GSP to attach, neither of which are attached to rock. What do you suggest?

Plus ricordia and zoos on rock. I am hoping to break the rock into smaller pieces. Should I also be looking for depressions to effectively use the epoxy?

super glue or fine fishing line. I never had much luck with glue, but I'm a SPS guy, never needed it.

How about this for my mushroom and GSP: I have some rock "flakes", a result of breaking up some LR. I could super glue these guys to the flakes, then use epoxy to set into the LR in the tank. That way avoiding the fishing line option.

Yup, that works

I've tried the superglue route with xenia, and it didn't work for me. They just slime over and the superglue won't hold.

Xenia, for me, worked best with thread or fishing line. Although I'd never put it in my tank again on purpose

I hate epoxy. Ill use it if I reallly really have to in certain cases, but otherwise screw it. SUPERGLUE. it's a godsend.

i never try to attach epoxy underwater. always out... seems to work better for me.

Just testing an older tube of superglue gel. It is still not curing after 30 minutes. How long should it take?
