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.

Thats what I use as well.
Cut off a small piece, mix it up by kneading
I then put a drop of gel crazy glue on a rock, place the kneaded epoxy on, another drop of crazy glue, then the frag, and press together. Done
Cures under water

I do that minus the glue part. Never needed it.

I found it worked better for me
But previous to me trying that, I was ok without it.

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.
