So who has used Aquasik epoxy/putty? Has anyone used this long term months to years with out anything falling apart? I just finished creating my aqua-scape with dry rock and this stuff holds amazingly! I also put tons of Extra thick supper glue from BRS in any crack/crevasse to make sure nothing falls.

Been using for 7 years and I've never had it fail. Just be sure to mix it thoroughly or it won't harden completely.

Yeah i made sure to mix it right plus I did it dry and everything has been sitting on my table for about a week now rock solid! And i reinforced it with supper glue. Thanks for the input i have no worries now since you said 7 years.

I haven't used it for aqua-scaping, but I have for securing frags to the rocks. I got fed up of using a lot of glue to secure the frags to the rock and then having it come loose anyway if I bump it by accident. Now I make a sandwich with the putty and glue ( frag, glue, putty, glue) and it's super strong. The putty molds to the rock and the glue has more area to bond to.

Only reason i used the supper glue was because i made a scape that was a bit sketchy haha and dont want it to fall one night 3 years down the road. I made sure all my rock balanced and held without any glue/epoxy 1st just gravity. Then added tons of Aquastik and supper glue.
