Best Glue for Live Rock?

[j83]

The search engine is down so I was hoping to get some feedback about the best glue to glue live rock together.

Thanks,

Harvey's PLumbers Epoxy Putty. Available at HD and Lowes

Does it bond instantly? and can you place it in the water directly after you bond it?

 

[Carman34L]

it will cure under water, it is thick like clay and you kneed it together to get a consitant color then place on the rock, and push the other rock in place. you have about 5-10 minutes of time before it hardens, and is reef safe.

Also Aquamend from HD

Will the Aquamend from HD work for frags as well?

I use a combination of Aquamend and Krazy Glue Gel. It's very effective.

Just about any kind of super glue gel will work just fine.

I've recently been on an epoxy and super glue binge... For mounting frags: place a dab of superglue on the frag then put some epoxy around it. Place another dab of superglue on the epoxy that is on the frag then stick it to some rock. Massage the epoxy until everything holds together.

I haven't tried using epoxy to hold rocks together...but just today I used some 1/2" acrylic rods placed into 1/2" holes drilled into rock to hold some pieces together. Also great for getting rock up off the bottom.
