Review on 🐠 Fish Safe Instant Ocean HoldFast Epoxy Stick (HF-1) - 4USoz./113g by Nadia Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great epoxy but not the coral purple advertised

I would give this epoxy 5 stars but there was one big problem, it's not the purple advertised. I bought this to aquascape my dry headstone and it works great. Once dry, I couldn't break the two stones apart. A few tips to make connecting bricks a little easier. Just select the quantity you need. Don't try to mix a large batch as it will quickly start to dry out. When working with dry stone, make sure it's as clean and dust-free as possible, knead the putty with your fingers, and have a small cup of water handy. It will start sticking to your fingers. If you keep your fingers wet, it won't stick and makes it easier to mix the putty. Mix the putty until it is the same color. Stone or even stone dust and sprinkle it on the outside of the putty to hide the "seams". Leave the stones in place for a few hours, I left them in place for almost 12 hours and they were set. When I mixed the putty I noticed that it wasn't purple, having already started applying it, but I assumed (yes I know what happens when you assume) that it would change color when it's fully cured, but I was wrong. If you need a strong epoxy/putty to join stones that is easy to work with and doesn't cost a fortune, this product is for you. If you're expecting purple, look elsewhere. Update - I see they have changed the product description to remove the purple color and now show the correct product. I added a 5th star as it is a strong and easy to work with epoxy.
