Epoxy question
 
What epoxy do you guys/gals use to stick frags to liverocks? For example, I have a piece of frogspawn that I would like to securely attach to a rock.

THANKS!

I picked up this stuff from J&L. Works great as you cut off a little from each piesce and mix together. Then you can work it dry or underwater. Seeems to last a long time as well.

I have a love/hate relationship with putty. Sometimes it holds VERY well, other times it lets go right away. I've tried a couple of kinds (no, I can't recall their names) and have the same kinda luck with both.

I just use super glue, I find it holds better.

What kind of superglue?

Cyanoacrylate - I just use the stuff from the hobby shop in extra thick, its called Flashed glue.

You can get the gel type here at the dollar store in parkland mall. Both types work, but the gel is thicker. It has a red cap. Anything cyanocryalate is good, just look at the label. Loctite from home depot is same stuff

I tried the super glue. It worked good on sps and lps but trying to do any mushrooms or toadstools and I found there was too much water to stick. The epoxy didn't seem to have that problem.
