Default Live Rock Epoxy...

Has anyone here ever used the "cement/adhesive or glue" for Live Rock?

I'm considering it... If you have please let me know your opinion..

Not sure if i will or not, just curious...

I tried the marine superglue (prob same as regular???) Used it on a cool frag and I found out thart the glue may work but it sure does not if you are gluing to surface that is not clean of algae or some such stuff. I'd try top glue scraped clean surface to clean surface.

I just used this stuff on my rock, and it is holding TIGHT! no problem! Made the water cloudy, but i guess you can rinse it first, and that helps... i didnt do that!
