Crap epoxy?

[life~reefer]

Is there such thing as crap epoxy? I would not stick to the frag stone and it just kept falling off. Then it just hardened in a little ball. I threw away the package so I don't know what type. I said mix it up for 1 minute then good to use. Is that too long?? I have always used super glue for everything that I could take out of the water but i don't have any at the moment and i have this epoxy that is being annoying. Help?

I have aqua mend and it is hit or miss.....you have to knead it until it is soft, and then you have to set it within 2 minutes

Epoxy by itself never works very good. I use super glue on both sides of the epoxy ball. The super glue holds it until the epoxy hardens.

Your squirt the gel out in the tank? I didn't think you could do that.

You add a glob of super gles to the bottom of the frag then the ball of epoxy then another glob of super glue. The just push and stick anywhere you want it under water.
