mighty putty

Purple Penguins · 01/02/2008, 07:22 PM

so I was watching tv and this comercial comes on for this stuff

https://www.mightyputty.com/spark/index.php?ai=8

wonder if this works on coral and rockwork in a tank, or if thats exactly what it is being used for a whole new method.

kinda reminds me of my two little fishies apoxy putty

one in the same, but i'd stay with the stuff labeled reef safe

mbbuna · 01/02/2008, 07:37 PM

its the same stuff as aquamend from home depot but aquamend is cheaper

GQ22 · 01/02/2008, 07:46 PM

is aquamend confirmed to be reef safe, and phosphate free?

its reef safe when cured.

phosphate free? you got me, ive never heard of anyone complain about it.

think about it though, how many company's do you think are out there making two part epoxy putty, white on the inside and green on the outside?

after seeing that comercial I see so many more uses for my two little fishes apoxy, but that stuff smells so bad to me I cant imagine using it on most things, the smell alone makes me afraid to even put in my tank somtimes

i hear ya

the next time i need to tow an 80,000 lbs truck im reaching for my putty

Purple Penguins · 01/02/2008, 08:26 PM

are you kidding me! I now know how to make chain link to hang sinder blocks from my ceiling, I was worried I would never find a solution to my decor problems

reefkoi · 01/02/2008, 09:09 PM

Funny you mention other uses, about 10 years ago we had a bad snowstorm, my truck & trailer was stuck so I threw a chain around a crossmember and tried pulling out while my friend inside the truck worked the throttle.
I pulled the crossmember forward and tweaked the radiator into the engine fan, it cut a few of the copper tubes and antifreeze started pouring out. I ran into the house and grabbed some two lil fishies aquastik and packed it on there.
Never leaked a drop for the following 5 years! Pretty cool stuff to have around.
BTW I now use the stuff from Home Depot and have probably 30+ tubes of it holding over 100 SPS in my tank so I am pretty sure its just as reef safe as the ones labeled so.

well if anything ever falls apart, in or out of my aquarium i definately know what to use.

bbehring · 01/02/2008, 09:47 PM

Think I could still get the quaddrupel tube offer of mighty putty even though I didn't act now? Billy?

Purple Penguins · 01/02/2008, 09:52 PM

maybe just maybe he might even through in a 5th tube, he does seem very excited about his product

bigtex52 · 01/02/2008, 09:54 PM

Billy Mays just drives me CRAZY!!! He's the only guy I can still hear with the TV on mute.

bbehring · 01/03/2008, 08:01 AM

He was just as excited about oxyclean and the floor sweeper! He's a marketing machine. While I've bought oxyclean to clean the carpet in my boat, I have never bought nothing off any of his adds. He must sell a boat load for those companies as he pitches or has pitched quite a few products. I bet he's made a million off those commercials or has a garage full of oxyclean and mighty putty?
