Question Is it safe?

Is this stuff alright (safe) to use for mounting larger corals to rocks?
Superglue gel won't even begin to hold the weight of some of the
larger pieces, and aquastick cost 17 dollars for a pinky finger sized
stick at my LFS in NYC

Contact the manufacturer and see if it's usable for potable water. FWIW, you can buy AquaMend from Home Depot and it's completely safe.

It says right on the front of the package "Safe for lines carrying potable water" Does that mean its "SAFE" for the tank?
Home depot in NYC does NOT cary aquamend!?! Its not even listed in their computers! Not even in the paint department. :^(
I can't find that stuff anywhere and can't wait for an on line order.

Supposedly if it's safe for potable water, then it's safe for a tank. But, I've never tried it and I don't want to experiment with it, either
