AquaStik Epoxy Putty from Two Little Fishies is a multipurpose epoxy putty excellent for attaching aquascaping items. Nontoxic epoxy attaches corals, live rock, gorgonians, plants, and other items to each other or directly to glass. Unique Redcolor matches coralline algae, and the Grey blends with live rock perfectly. Drill, sand, or even saw after fully cured. AquaStik Epoxy Putty will bond to wood, concrete, ceramic, acrylic, metal, and fiberglass. Mixes in 1 minute, hardens in 20 and fully cures in 24 hours. For use in marine and freshwater aquariums, ponds and paludariums, reptile and small animal habitats.
Directions for use
Note: Use of large quantities will temporarily cause protein skimmer to foam excessively. Turn off skimmer for 36 hours after use. Use with plastic rods to form more structural bonds. Do not cut off any excess epoxy as this may weaken the attachment. Coralline algae will soon coat exposed epoxy. Corals also grow over the epoxy, forming an additional bond with it. For attaching fragmented branches of Acropora and other stony corals, surround the base with epoxy and press it into a hole in the rock. A toothpick or plastic rod inserted into the base or a peg can provide extra support for large pieces or for soft corals. For Gorgonians: If there is a base, put epoxy under it and push base into a deep depression in the rock, holding it in place by hand for 2 minutes. Rubber bands, plastic cable ties, monofilament line, or a clamping device may be used to hold large pieces in place until epoxy cures. Remove clamp or cut the temporary bands after 24 hours. If the gorgonian has no base, clean about 1 inch of live tissue off the woody skeleton from the bottom of the stem. Cover the exposed portion with enough epoxy to hold the specimen firmly when inserted into a hole in the rock. Push the excess epoxy down into the hole and around the stem to secure it in place. Plastic toothpick shims wedged into the hole with the epoxy hay help hold really large specimens. For freshwater planted aquariums and paludariums, AquaStik can be used to attach Java Fern, Java Moss, Bolbitis, Riccia, Anubias species and other plants to wood and rocks. General Information |
