JB Weld - Reef Safe?
Folks,
I had a broken Tunze Nanostream holder and used some JB Weld to glue it back together. Before I put the powerhead back in my tank, I wanted to see if anyone has used this product inside their tank where it's exposed to water. Is it safe to use, or will it leach something into the tank to harm fish, corals or inverts? Any feedback is appreciated. Using regular CA didn't hold the bond over time...

Why no use marine grade epoxy instead? I am pretty sure that the JB is ok, once it is hard. I don't know for sure though.

I have used it with no apparent negative effects.
