I just received a ~4" acro. It's one big stick. It isn't attached to a rock, just a stick.

Can I epoxy it directly to my rock? Or would that be too much stress as it just went through shipping?

I would just use super glue gel and attach to a plug or rock rubble. I use loctite brand.

Super glue gel/epoxy/super glue gel to a piece of rubble once the epoxy hardens do the same glue epoxy sand which into your display after its been in Q/T if you Q/T.

I like the 2 little fishies red epoxy, also vertex makes a great epoxy- Its easier than the straight super glue gel- IME
