I don't really believe its getting out of hand.. the idea of microwaving it first is to a) make it more pliable and b) allow the curing process to be quicker

Simply stating the instructions and in my experience with it, very accurate. Other epoxies I used took considerably longer to cure.

Chad, not saying you're doing anything wrong, but the whole attaching frags to rocks thing should be way simpler!

im going to use zap straps and crazy glue gel..... That putty stuff was so risky i it almost bombed my whole tank.. Im not kidding when i say there wasnt any movement in my fish they were all huddled in a corner laying on the tank floor breathing heavy while detris blew on top of them.

So sad....
