Alright, well I am gonna look a some of the LFS here on the island for some epoxy if they even have any here, this island sucks for LFS. It is also hard to get anything shipped here, hopefully they will have it since I have frags coming in this week.

Little Tip.....
Most superglue gel runs about $1 per gram.
Example ....loctite glue is 3.99 for a 4 gram tube.
Gorilla super glue is not labled "GEL" but is very thick. You can 15grams for $6 and it works GREAT!!

Don't suggest using glue for the hammer. You should be able to just wedge it between a couple of rocks. The mushroom I would suggest string or a net.

The mushroom Im sending u is big. U dont have to glue it. If you do itll be easy cuz its attached to rocks on the bottom.
The hammer head is attahced to a Square frag plug.
And all the zoas are attached to dff frag plugs.
So if you could stick them into the rocks u prolly wont even need glue

Question for you pretty.... have you glued zoas to LR? Talking about putting glue directly on the bottom of them.

Never have done it before only because I wasn't sure how it would affect the zoa. Good to know. I am attempting to attach all different kinds of zoas to this long skinny piece of LR that will branch out from my large pieces of LR. Thanks!!!
