LandenReefer Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 So I have been using standard plumbers epoxy to hold my rockscape together. I have found that the epoxy after weeks in the tank is pretty flexible and not really hard. Assuming it should be hard as a rock, am I right to assume that I am not mixing it enough? Any thoughts or suggestions? Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'm not really sure. I've always used epoxy made for reef tank use which hardens in time. Link to comment
tetraodon Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 make sure you get the stuff that will set up under water, like JB water weld.if its the play-dough like epxoy its going to be mixed correctly if you followed the instructions. Link to comment
LandenReefer Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 I have been using the green putty with the gray center. It is rated for underwater use but it it stays brittle and soft even after a few weeks. I was not sure if this is how it works or if it should get rock hard. I do kneed it up pretty good but maybe I need to mix it even more. Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I've used reef epoxy, and no matter how well I mix it, it is always brittle. Pain in the butt, I often accidentally break epoxied corals off. At least if you want to move something, it can be removed without too much effort. Link to comment
