What's the best underwater epoxy for rocks in established reef tank?

I've used DD epoxy and heated it with hot gun it was good.... anything else?

This, except add super glue gel on both contact sides.

Don't know what "DD" is, but I think they're all mostly the same aside from color and price. Instant Ocean is usually what I use because it is less expensive than the others. I don't really care about color since it will be covered with coralline in a few weeks anyway.

I'm also interested in how you use a heat gun under water...

JB water weld but it’s white and stands out like a sore thumb.

I'm surprised this works with "real" live rock. I didn't think anything would stick to it.
By real I mean ocean live rock like from TBS or KP

Well the Divers den 2 part epoxy used to be very hard, needed to be microwaved or heated to become pliable... that's 8 years ago. Nowadays they're softer off the box.
