Anyone have any experience with this loctite product or know if its reef safe? I was going to use the regular epoxy one but then say this and figured it would be better since I would be working with plastics. Realized now that it might not be reef safe. Would hate to restart the project but any input would be appreciated.

Why not just use superglue on what you can and just get reef safe epoxy from bulkreefsupply? That way you don't have to worry about ruining an entire project and end up spending more money then that few extra dollars it would have costed to get the reef safe stuff compared to the loctite stuff. The reason I say that is because I'm not familiar with the stuff you want to use and can't say without a doubt it'll be reef safe and nor do I think anyone else can say without a doubt it's reef safe. I mean you may find someone that has used it successfully but his setup may not be the same.

Also if your looking at super glue forking over the $30 for the 10 oz bottle at BRS is well worth the up front cost because it'll save you tons of money in the long run. I have the bottle and figure out that it would take 50+ of those loctite superglue tubes (at what $4-$5 a piece) to match the contents of the BRS bottle. Not what you asked but I thought I would throw the super glue info at you in case you didn't already know.
