What do you suggest for affixing corals to plugs and rocks?

I know crazy glue gel works, but what kind of putty or epoxy can I use and can it be bought at Home Depot?

Thanks!
 
I use BRS superglue and works very well. I find epoxy a bit of a hassle but have used two little fishies. Your skimmer could/will go nuts for days after using it.

Personally, I wouldn’t put a putty from HD in my tank though I’m sure some are safe.
 
I use either Instant Ocean or Two Little Fishes 2 Part Coral Epoxy sticks with gel super glue.

The absolute bestest way to affix corals is this method:
dap super glue/ small wad epoxy/ another dap super glue.

This method Combines the best attributes of both epoxy and glue, secures to rock/plug quickly and then becomes a super strong long lasting bond.
 
J-B Waterweld epoxy and whatever cyanoacrylate superglue gel you want. Just be sure to get the gel not the liquid superglue =)

I'll second the epoxy sandwich/superglue.

Frag -> Superglue -> Epoxy -> Superglue ----> smash to rock.
