Black free form habitat epoxy

[SALTWATER FISH HIPPIE]

Has anyone tried this when building a dry rock reef scape and if so would this be comparable to the epoxy putty sticks? Thinking about giving it a try if it’s not too flexible. Going to use the thin superglue with sand powder and accelerator. Was going to epoxy the joints after the glue with this. I used mortar on the cylinder scape but was going to try epoxy this round. I have been looking a the nyos black but if the free form would work it may be a pretty decent savings.

I was just actually searching for the cheapest way to purchase nyos black epoxy putty. Somehow one of the ways I worded my search pulled up the black habitat free form epoxy. I do believe I am going to at least try it and see what its like.

I did try again and was able to use some of the free form on the base. I end d up putting it into a piping bag. With that said I did not like how easily it seemed to shatter on a hard impact once cured Switched to nyos black and for the rest of the rise of the base of the scape. The top shelf it not attached yet and will also be extended on the left side a few inches.
