Just wanted to show off some of the rockwork that I and Albert were commissioned to build recently.

Beer bottle for scale... I'm not an alcoholic.

Only 1 beer bottle for scale? Typically for this type of application a minimum of 3 would be recommended!

Nice work!

You can do it same day. Tyler and I have done rockwork for people with their existing rock on-site. You just need to be prepared properly and keep the rockwork damp with some towels or newspaper while the cement is curing.

I agree epoxy is junk you should use Fiji Crete instead

Actually, the stuff we use is a little different; it's quite a bit stickier.

Albert, what exactly do you use? Or is it a secret ingredient? I attempted to use the fiji crete once, it ended very badly :)

Bit of a secret recipe I've been working on. Next step is making it purple and easier to use underwater. Currently, it works and cures under water as a reinforcement or frag mount, but only under specific direction. I'm trying to make that a bit more foolproof :D

Secrets suck Albert. Am i way off in thinking you and Tyler have a store or some kind of SW related business now? I miss your old place of employment and need another source of livestock and supplies:sad: No more little guys with the one on one kind of service like there used to be

Secrets suck, but they make money :) Glad there's something in development to do this kind of thing!

I make rock structures on consignment and can still do installs. Nothing else ATM other than the odd frag sale.

Still havent figured out a name for the product tho

i was thinking "Alberts secret sauce" but that could be bad for sales
