anyone found any epoxy alternatives to use? i use gel glue for gluing frags, but what do you use for attaching small colonies? anything at HD? i looked at my local HD a while back but couldnt find anything...or do i just have to settle for the aquarium putty stuff?
TIA

I was thinking of mail ordering a two part marine epoxy called Z-Spar. It is very pricey at 85.00 dollars U.S. for a 2 quart mix. It is mentioned in the Delbrrek & Sprungs books.

Apparently very useful for glueing rocks together for structure. The rocks will break before the epoxy gives away.

Hi, I am also interested in finding an epoxy that works on wet rock. Something cheap would be nice too, that plain old underwater aquarium epoxy don't work too good. images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

Hello,

You may want to try a marine supply store. I am sure you can find epoxy there.
