Default Fijicrete question

Hi does anyone know where I can purchase fijicrete locally? Shipping costs 3x what the product costs. Also how strong is this product? Let's just say I'm planning to glue a tower about 20lbs with multiple pieces of rock. Can the fijicrete hold if I held the tower from the top? Can this be cured inside my live aquarium or does it have to be out of water?

How much do you need, in measurements of cups? I think I may have bought too much, but I won't know for sure until next week after I do a bit more rock work. If I have left overs I'd be happy to give it to you at cost, providing you could pick it up or meet at J&L.

Ounce mixed you have about 5 minutes working time sets in 10 minutes cures faster in saltwater then dry and takes about 2 hours.
Strength is 500lbs/square inch, I believe but will get exact numbers if really needed.

I love this product I use it to mount frags to scape everything one thing you need to know using it is wet the rocks first and it takes way longer to cure fully then it says on the package
