that is insane....

some more proof...i just set up my bonzai tree i glued 60 frags upside down and vertically all over the whole structure...every single frag stayed glued and solid.

for my design of the tank i cannot add more live rock ever theres just no room, so the ability to glue frags over frags over frags right in the water is sweet.

im sold 110% and i use every glue i can find i have i bet 10 different types in the frag room but none compare to this.

i even glued a huge piece of red slimy macro algae right to my back glass along with another type of macro:P


was simple run a bead across the glass under water, press macro onto the glue bead, the bead works that well under water i can run a bead right across the glas and it stays where i put it.


hell another great thing about it is just after 2 mins maybe even less its able to be molded like play dough thats awesome for filling the big gaps and getting the most bond

enough to get a glow on:P


for frags just a bit, less then i usually do, for bigger things i use a good glob then do a little tack weld with it ,after a minute or 2 you can even mold the excess glue so its flat and a good seal is made

I bought the big bottle
I used it to glue half my LR towers after I grew tired of the epoxy issues I had
Its great stuff, but not the best price for large usage
I glued the top of my towers with it, underwater, and it's solid as hell

I'm still using what's left for frags 'till it runs out

Works great on frags if you wipe them dry first, and you can always put a blob on the frag, get it wet, and then add another blob

I find it holds best if you spread the bubble of epoxy underwater so it sticks to the 'whatever' you want it to
