What kind of epoxy do you use?

I've heard some people use the home depot stuff, but I'm not sure which it is. Crazy glue (gel) works great if it's out of the water, but working with bigger frags in the water it has a hard time sticking. What expoxy do you use and where to get?

Aquamend from home depot.

I'm pretty sure that the tunze and deltec epoxies are just rebadged commercial epoxy sticks.

I also use Aquamend from the HD. Works good and does not get hot.

Great!! Thanks guys. Yeh, the one I use at the moment gets hot as you mix it. Gotta run to home depot

just becareful using aquamend from HD, cause skimmer to go nuts. Something like saponification or something like that. Just lower the water level inside your skimmer before putting epoxied frags. into tank. It happens all the time and this morning again. I never learn.

I tried the Deltec stuff, and it is not the same as the rest. It smells way different and feels different.

I'm not saying it's better or worse. I have issues with that stuff as well. In the end I'm not really happy with any of the epoxies i tried.

Epoxy for bonding live rock together or for bonding frags to rubble/plugs? If the second then super gel glue for frags to plugs.
