Has anyone used this type of epoxy to frag SPS

[jeemann99]

I purchased this plumbers epoxy and am wondering if anyone has used this stuff to frag sps corals or even used it in a reef tank. I want to know if it is safe to use this stuff in my reef tank to epoxy some LR together as well as frag attach some sps frags.

Thanks

Is this stuff reef safe?

I'm not sure if it's the same brand, but I've often used the epoxy sticks with the green outer part that I've purchased at Home Depot and at Menards. I hope this helps

The epoxy sticks you are referring to is it a plumbers putty epoxy? This stuff seems to be rolled up like a fruit roll up and not just one thick stick

I just found an old package that didn't make it to the trash....it is exactly the same stuff...same brand and everything. Just cut off the amount you need, knead it together in your fingers so that it is all the same consistency (this is how you activate it) and then use it for what you need . If you're trying to work underwater, it does get flaky and takes quite awhile to set, but outside of the water it will work much better.
