Epoxy Putty Stick

I have picked up a Expoxy stick from the hardware store. It says it is marine and will set in fresh or saltwater. How do I know if it is safe to use in the tank. The Brand name is PC-Marine.

Usually, when they say its safe for marine, it is.

You'll be fine

Sorry, Re read, saying it's from a Hardware store. I looked up the stuff, Its made for repairing Boats and such. I don't know for sure

Is it this stuff??

I would probably not use it unless it said ok for aquariums. Lots of these contain various types of metal shavings.

Yes that is the stuff. I wasn't sure, so I haven't used it yet... didn't know they used metal shavings.

I guess I will order some instead. Thanks
