Works, but...............There is a trick to it

For proper use, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the rock's are dry and clear of any loose debris. (You are wasting your time if the rock isn't completely dry, the epoxy will not adhere to the surfaces) 2. Super Glue is your friend here. Apply a generous amount to both pieces, do not join the rock's together, let the super glue start to set up (maybe 1 to 2 minutes) 3. Break off a portion of the Epoxy and start mixing the two parts together. When the two colors are a single color (white or gray) you have mixed the epoxy correctly and it is ready to be applied. 4. Now take one of the rocks(both pieces should have super glue already on them) and place the epoxy on it. Spread the epoxy out to where the second rock(super glue is on it, right?) will be adhering to it. 5. Take the second rock and apply it to the first rock that has the epoxy on it. Carefully move the epoxy between the two rocks, creating a uniform seam. 6. Allow the epoxy to cure 24 hours, this will ensure that it is completely hardened.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Use Generously

Worked alright, let it cure for 6 hours before introducing to my tank, after moving around the piece the bonding failed. Going to use twice as much bonding to see if it sticks this time.

No, I do not recommend this product.

    Thank you for your question. This product is intended for use on aquarium decorations and is intended to work for ceramic.

Is this epoxy safe to use in a populated aquarium or should it be allowed to cure before adding livestock?

  1. 8 years ago
    Yes, this epoxy is safe to use in a populated aquarium. I regularly use it to attach corals in my full reef. It can sometimes cause the protein skimmer to bubble more than it would normally, but that is nothing to worry about.
