Urgent Epoxy Question!

[Andy V]

Hello everyone. I have spent probably close to 30 hours getting my new aquascape ready for my move this weekend. I used live rock I have been curing for a little while, and after lots of work, I finally got the new scape looking like something I could be happy with last night. I used nylon threaded rods, epoxy, etc. to get everything right. There was just one little piece I needed to remove from a certain (very critical) rock. Well guess what happened? That’s right, my Dremel was too small to cut all the way through, so I decided to finish it off with a chisel and of course, disaster happened. The most critical (aesthetically, not weight-bearing) piece of rock broke in half. The break was pretty clean, but aquamend did nothing to help. What liquid epoxy or glue would work well for this? I really need to fix this rock!!!

Gel

I have made frag racks out of marko rock and never had an issue with the loctite gel........dont be shy with it. Hold very well.

2 part epoxy should work. That stuff will bond nearly anything.

Thanks guys. Which Loctite Epoxy works best? I just went to Home Depot and picked up the 5 min Epoxy Gel that says it bonds stone and is water resistant. Then I get home and notice that it says not for prolonged underwater use. Should I not worry or should I use a different type of Loctite?

This is what I just bought:

I also have this one:

The second one says it is waterproof, not water resistant, but does not specify stone as something it works on.

I use the same stuff we use for frags, loctite gel
