Spirofucci Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Right in the middle. Like el luchador broke it, like so, with his knee. Then there was just two other single pieces that were pretty small that I couldn't find a logical fit. Sorry to be a pain, but what I need to know is, was the break at the joint of glue and the epoxy putty or did the rock itself break. That rock is pretty soft stuff so that is where I would expect it to break during shipping. I'll be really disappointed if the glue joints did not hold, but if so tell me, I can take it (I think).

Oh! Sorry, I misunderstood the question. It broke at the rock. Your glue/epoxy work was hella solid. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks!!!!! So now I won't change the way I glue/putty these sculptures in the future. We should go into business together. I'll make sculptures that fall apart and you do the EZ spiderman sex web top cover thing! LOL!!!!! Link to comment
gena Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 That rock structure is so cool...and it looks awesome in your tank, Joel!!!!! Spiro...are you thinking of selling these things? I think you should. I'm sure people would buy them (I know I would). The tough part will just be getting them to their destination in one piece. Link to comment
JR! Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 O hey Joel remember you said that you almost bought me a powerhead. Which one where you gonna get? Link to comment
Lawnman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Glad you're happy with the stuff! Sorry the friggn rock sculpture broke! I never shipped one before. Question: did it break along the glue/putty lines or did the actual rock itself break? It doesn't matter how you put it back together, as long as you like it. Merry Christmas dude! Dude that is awesome to actually make something like that. Alot of thought went into your gift. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 O hey Joel remember you said that you almost bought me a powerhead. Which one where you gonna get? The Hydor Koralia Nano. There's a 240gph and a 425. I was torn between the two. Link to comment
JR! Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 The Hydor Koralia Nano. There's a 240gph and a 425. I was torn between the two. Yea I looked at the 240 and the koralia 1. Didn't know the difference though Link to comment

I think you should. I'm sure people would buy them (I know I would). The tough part will just be getting them to their destination in one piece. Thanks!! I realy enjoy making them, its fun. Shipping I guess is difficult because the rock is so soft. I tried to pack it as best I could but it still broke. Really though, everyone should make their own, its not that hard. However, I would be glad to give anyone advice on how to do it. Dude that is awesome to actually make something like that. Alot of thought went into your gift. Thanks! Link to comment
