J-B Stik Weld

Alaskan Reefer · 03/16/2009, 10:25 PM

Just double checking, has anyone else used J-B Stik Weld epoxy putty to mount corals? I assume it's reef safe but wanted to get another opinion. I have superglue gel of course, but a putty would be better for the spots I want to mount a couple frags in. Thanks.

I don't think that one is OK, but I have not used it... Is it green on the outside with white in the middle?

I don't know about J-B Weld but you can use aquamend that is available at Home Depot.

A link to the product. It's all that I can find here in my immediate area, but Home Depot is only about 15 miles away. Hmmm...

"steel-reinforced epoxy putty"

Stay away IMO...

I've used the waterweld before with no problems, but I mainly use aquamend now

I wouldnt use JB weld. If home depot's a bit of a drive, find some online or just make sure to pick it up next time you need to go. Otherwise, superglue gel should do the trick for now.

Aquamend here. Works great, smells terrible.
