loctite marine epoxy - safe for frag mounting?
it's a two-part epoxy. says it cures in 50 minutes. warnings say that it contains epoxy resin, quartz silica, isophorone diamine, benzyl alcohol, propylene glycol and amine curing agents.
i also bought plumbing epoxy/putty by pc-plumbing. didn't see aquamend at home depot :-/

I'm also interested in this. The super glue gel by BSI is the one consistently suggested by people, but the only places around me that sell it are hobby shops and they often don't have it in stock.
If someone could also suggest some easy frag plugs that one could buy from home depot or lowes I'd appreciate it too  I looked at their tiles and almost all are on mesh mount and glued down.

I'm not certain, but I don't think that isophorone diamine is reef safe:
