Is this epoxy reef safe? or can i make it safe?

[reefsnreefer]

I made some frag racks with this epoxy and used it to coat magnets for use in water. Is it reef safe? Or if not, could i spray a couple coats of Krylon fusion over it to seal it in?

Loctite Epoxy Heavy Duty from Loctite Adhesives

Not sure if it's reef safe, but what are you trying to use it for?

I made some frag racks out of some neodymium magnets and egg crate. Coating/waterproofing the magnets and attaching. I know Krylon fusion spray paint is reef safe. I wonder if it could act as a total sealant for the epoxy.

(already made one before researching whether or not it is reef safe) i figured that once epoxy sets it wouldn't leach anything, but i guess they are not all created equal. I can always just re-do it with a different adhesive/sealer.

Not sure but I remember something about one of loctite brands being a no no...

hmm, maybe i should just stop and get some jb water weld

 

[swannyson7]

It's cheap enough to get the stuff that's definitely alright so I'd play it on the safe side

Jb waterweld is formerly aquamend it's the same stuff different package... Totally reef safe with no issues there besides a skimmer overflowing for a day or so haha..

That stuff rocked a skimmer of mine for about 3 weeks. I hate that stuff : )

if it says potable water safe you will be fine. If it does not say that stay away from it. Easy as that.

When in doubt don't use, unless you don't care if your tank crashed...
