Epoxy

[ddowns]

What is a good bonding Epoxy product? I am trying to bond live rock to live rock. What I am trying to bond is not heavy. I used the one in a clear tubing that has a green outer and a white center with no luck. I need something way better than that stuff. Any suggestions, please let me know.

Thank You

I personally use AquaMend, which is essentially the same product that the LFS sell, but cheaper. I find it at home depot, I think. The problem with the stuff is that it is not very adhesive until it sets fully. Because of this, I always put a ball of super glue gel on either side of a layer of the epoxy. The superglue will set quickly and hold the stuff together until the epoxy can fully harden and set. Using epoxy by itself, I never had any luck, either.

I use the same... but I've never supplemented it with superglue, and it has worked well. But, on the other hand, I'm not doing anything tricky that defies gravity.
