Aquastik Epoxy

izzyishh · Jan 16, 2018

So who has used Aquasik epoxy/putty? Has anyone used this long term months to years with out anything falling apart? I just finished creating my aqua-scape with dry rock and this stuff holds amazingly! I also put tons of Extra thick supper glue from BRS in any crack/crevasse to make sure nothing falls.

Been using for 7 years and I've never had it fail. Just be sure to mix it thoroughly or it won't harden completely.

Yeah i made sure to mix it right plus I did it dry and everything has been sitting on my table for about a week now rock solid! And i reinforced it with supper glue. Thanks for the input i have no worries now since you said 7 years.

I haven't used it for aqua-scaping, but I have for securing frags to the rocks. I got fed up of using a lot of glue to secure the frags to the rock and then having it come loose anyway if I bump it by accident. Now I make a sandwich with the putty and glue ( frag, glue, putty, glue) and it's super strong. The putty molds to the rock and the glue has more area to bond to.

I've always had to use super glue as well. It worked well covering up some gsp. It caused my skimmer to foam like crazy.

Only reason i used the supper glue was because i made a scape that was a bit sketchy haha and dont want it to fall one night 3 years down the road. I made sure all my rock balanced and held without any glue/epoxy 1st just gravity. Then added tons of Aquastik and supper glue.
