Eww. Holdfast is even worse, in my opinion. It just crumbles and DOESN'T stick...like trying to use scotch tape to hold down your coral.
I don't get why we can't get a @$#%& stick of epoxy that actually works, and DOESN'T send the tank into a frenzy. We can go to the moon, switch inner organs and clone sheep. But nooooo....a stick of epoxy that works is just too hard. Meh. See? I feel your frustration  P.S. Your skimmer will stop....eventually. At least it's not hanging on the back of your tank, in a carpeted living room  *relives bad memory*...

Weird. I never had the green stick stuff go crumbly on me. Bad batch maybe? For me it kneads into a bubble gum consistency. Now mind you, it's totally not sticky, but I don't think it's meant to be.
 But yeah. Wow. This is fun. Kicked off some carbon in there for now and hopin' for the best. Sheeesh.

Crappy! I just avoid epoxy all the time now.
I like Exhibit D though!

I use the holdfast, up to a full tube at once, and have never had a problem of any type. No foam, it's easy to work with (no, it doesn't stick, it isn't supposed to). It's a filler, not a glue. But no issues, ever.

I use the DD stuff. I always get the coralline color though. Last time OA was out and I got the grey stuff. Its total crap. I ended up chucking it out as well. Never had the issues with the skimmer though. Now I'm back to the purple stuff and its fine. Weird.

Tony we sell the Holdfast (which I have had negative feedback) and we also sell the D&D coraline eproxy ( which we have not had a problem with and had positive feedback) The D&D plain eproxy I have never tried and looks like from your experience (WON'T).

Good timing for me to see this thread... I just finished using some epoxy to place a frag and after reading this I figured I should go check on my skimmer (It's the HOB type in a room with carpet). It was just starting to go nuts so I just unplugged it for the time being. Thanks for the heads up.
