Review on 🐠 Coralline Purple Reef Safe Epoxy Putty: The Ultimate Solution for Marine Aquariums by Amy Cosme

Sticks to fingers, not like rocks

First of all, this material sticks to fingers AMAZING! Wait . Want it to stick to the rock? Oh no. I've used clay epoxy before and I know what I'm getting into, but I've never had this kind of stickiness on my fingers. The worst thing is you try to stick it to the stone and it won't stick to the stone because it's still sticking to your fingers. But wait, there's more! This material will not stick to the rock era. I was about halfway through my design when the stone didn't fit so I removed it only to find 3-4 other pieces of chippings that were presumably epoxy bonded together. When I picked them up, the epoxy on these stones cured to the point that it was no longer usable and fell right off the stone. So yes, the stuff will set in 5 minutes, but it won't stick to the stone. The next morning I checked some of the connections and most were bad. My stone was wet from rinsing but in a dry tank. Nowhere on the label does it say anything about dry/wet so I figured a wet stone wouldn't be a problem. I was wrong. To be honest if you install the stone well and make sure it is stable (wobble during installation) you will most likely be fine. This stuff barely helped and because of the problems it caused I won't be buying it again. Save yourself the hassle and just buy fiberglass rods, a long drill and connect the rock to the rods. Also, you can disassemble it using this method. Although the epoxy didn't stick, I think you can use the epoxy method to take it apart later as well.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Secret
