Epoxy?

[scottwhitson]

Ok I tried to use the search function here and can't find anything that isn't a couple of years old. I have used Aquamend before with great success but HD here doesn't carry it anymore so I need some new epoxy and need advice. What is everyone using that you can get at a HARDWARE store. I don't want to order it as I work out of town and need it before I have to leave again for three weeks. Thanks.

I have heard that some use JB weld waterweld but I finally just bought the reef safe stuff online because I could never find it either.

I can find the waterweld but wasn't sure if it was safe.

I have used the loctite brand putty epoxy. Have had no issues with it. Used it for most of my frag plug mounting. It will make you skimmer go mad for a bit though.

Is the Loctite in a roll like Aquamend or is it in the tube like syringes?

You can use Epo Putty Epoxy. I can gurentee you this is 100% safe. <a href="http://s1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425/syedjilani/?action=view&current=181.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425/syedjilani/181.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

I am using Oatey's "Fix-it Stick" all purpose bonding putty from home depot and it works great. In fact I have to pick some up today.

I have used a couple of brands, like the stuff that ace hardware sells with no ill effects. I think its just about all the same. Ive also used the two little fishes stuff and it seems to cure up much much faster is all.

I just got mine at HD for $ 5.98 and I am ready to frag!
