do you guys use the super glue gel to attach the epoxy to the rock? i have the two little fishes epoxy that wont attach to rock, it just slides off. after mixing it, would i have to glue the bottom of the epoxy then push it into the rock?
then would i have to attach the disk frag where the frags comes on, and push in into the epoxy? or should i put glue on the disk frag as well before pushing it into the epoxy?

From Hef's earlier post

Another vote that this is a Great way to mount frags. You can use such a small amount of epoxy...Please, let me explain how to do it this time. I make a small ball, smaller than the diameter of the frag. I put a little super gel on the epoxy(I like putting it on the epoxy not the frag, it cant drip on the frag this way) - then press the frag on - hold for 10 seconds - turn upside down - put glue on the other side of epxoy (a little extra glue on this side - then immediatly into the tank and press down on to the final resting place, the epoxy will squeeze out to the diameter of the frag, maybe a little wider, but not too much, I hate that - Hold for 20-30 seconds......Done. And it's done with confidence as opposed to just super Gel alone.
You can mount the smallest little pieces of Monti Dig this way or the biggest frags.

Thanks for the great tip Reefer Budget Dude.

This explains why it is so successful:
I tried the glue-epoxy-glue method and I have to say that it went really well. I believe that if it isn't clear by now, the epoxy does serve as an adjustable interface between two uneven surfaces. It made mounting my frags easy and doesn't leave unsightly epoxy using out
