I glued live wet rock from my tank. Put back into tank quickly and no issues. Just let the glue cure a bit. 5-10 minutes.

You've inspired me.I dried it lightly with a towel before gluing . The very porous rock (pukani) that I used breaks long before the sand and glue come apart. I broke the rock several times moving it, but never once a joint.
Message me with any questions.You've inspired me.
This is amazing work! Right on.Here is mine about 2 months after completion. I used wet cured rock I've been soaking for about 8 months. Loved doing this. Can't wait to see my coral all grown out...
Hi Than,
Breakdown Of The Glue We Used
We found that using Glue Masters THIN was the absolute best glue for what we needed.
I'm just thinking that I very much don't wanna do that. I'm all for suffering for my hobby, but breaking up rocks like an inmate?You can get a mortar and pestle and make rock powder that works just fine.
Yeah I’ve barely recovered.I'm just thinking that I very much don't wanna do that. I'm all for suffering for my hobby, but breaking up rocks like an inmate?
What kind of sand is exactly is the "really fine substrate from CaribSea"?

Just use a mortar and pestle. I got one from tj max for $10. Works like a charm and quickly. I’ll video how easy and fast it is if anyone wants.The guys at gluemasters have been great. Got my order today. They're working hard despite challenges in the world these days.
In other news, as I suspected, breaking up rocks to get additional powder was ridiculous. In the parking lot of my condo pounding rocks with an engineer hammer while they spattered around despite me making a cardboard box for them.
I've just now contacted marco rocks to see if they'll sell me powder. To anyone who is considering this scaping method, this is just an FYI. You need a proper place to do the powder making. And it's one of those things that takes a hobby and an afternoon and just trashes it.
You either risk damaging a surface in your home, or one outside where you have no business doing this kind of thing. I did it in my condo parking spot, so at least I'm only pounding on my spot.
Really hoping marco rocks can sell this stuff. I suspect the only way to get that reaction with the incredible bond is with the powder, and some other medium like sugar sized sand just won't produce the same results.
Yes, please video it!! That would be awesomeJust use a mortar and pestle. I got one from tj max for $10. Works like a charm and quickly. I’ll video how easy and fast it is if anyone wants.
