Long story short, while placing my new torch today my aquascape literally came apart at each placement of the epoxy putty/glue. Any ideas for repairing wet rock aquascape?

Have you ever tried to glue using water superglue and aragonite sand?
It works wet or dry.
Can you take the pieces out? It would take 3-5 minutes per bond. Coral can stay out of water comfortably 30 minutes. A spray bottle for longer.

 
I see, nope I had not attempted that yet, that’s extremely helpful! I honestly thought that using ic glue and regular Fiji, pink sand was sufficient, but that makes a lot more sense, thank you so much! Is ic glue suggested or would something more thin be better suited?

It needs to be water thin. Any Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate will do.
