Glueing Stuff

I've tried the epoxy they sell at the pet shop and it seems to always set too fast, never sticking things where I want them. What do you use?

Here too

I make a ball of epoxy and press the coral into it. Pull it out and place a small drop of glue. Then coral back in. Glue on the bottom of the ball and press where I want it

I use the epoxy from PETCO or petsmart, the cheap stuff. The trick is to use small amounts at a time then break them into 3 or 4 small balls ready to go. Then what I do to ensure a hold while it cures. I us a drop of IC-gel on the spot where I stick the frag and then another drop on the opposite side of the epoxy before I stick it to the rocks. It allows for a more natural look when it cures and also hold like no tomorrow. I also do this when securing aquascape

I guess me and jgraz do it the same way. Lol guess that's the proven method there. I guess I'm not the only one who hates loosing a $200 frag behind the rocks Bc the glue didn't hold. Lol
