My monti fell

[Rikerbear]

Any advise on how to reattach a monti frag?
I got a 2" frag that was glued to a piece of rubble. I encased the rubble in reef epoxy and attached the whole thing (I thought) to live rock.
Tonight it appears the epoxy didn't hold and the frag was resting on the sand.
Can I just add more epoxy and try again?

Try mixing a little super glue gel with the epoxy. You can also put some super glue on the rubble rock before the epoxy and the same on the underside of the monti.

I wasn't very clear really....the epoxy is still firmly attached to the rubble, and the monti is still firmly attached to the rubble. The epoxy let loose of the live rock. I just wonder if I can use more epoxy on the epoxy and try to reattach it to the live rock.

I see. You can still try the same things I said above between the frag and the live rock.

Oh okay....didn't know the gel would work on the epoxy. I will try that. Thanks :smile:

The gel does wonders even under water but both should work well

The gel seems to be holding. :bigsmile:
Thanks for the tips!

Here you go. I think it's called the sandwich method:
Frag > super glue > epoxy > super glue > live rock

It works.
