Deltec Epoxy

[terryansimon]

anybody has any comments on the above mentioned? apparently if it is cured underwater, the cured epoxy will take on this purple colour which mimics the look and colouration of coraline algae. sounds very interesting if you ask me.

any one?

Sounds interesting. How much is it?

[DeepBlue]

Saw it in Re***n...going at $18...anytime coloration and price better than Aqua***ic one...

I am using Selley's knead it now.....very good and harden quickly...but will try to deltec one soon

[lightningstrike]

i agree that the selley's knead is good. cures in water too.

Recently saw Tunze Coral fix too but have not tried it. should be good i think since its tunze!

[weileong]

I using this. Should be avaliable everywhere.

No issue so far, the coraline algae will cover it quickly if not the SPS will encrust over it

[ervine]

from what I've read, just use the normal epoxy selleys or whatever... cheaper and just as effective (if not more effective)

There are so many epoxy available in the market, how do we differentiate what is reef safe and what is not?

Do I need to stick the coral to the rock while it is out of the wateror can I do it underwater?

[ryz]

think all reefsafe one lah.. they just write that on the packaging to markup.. I just use the normal cheap cheap epoxy putty from hardware store

You can do it under water. Takes a little practise to do it nicely.

I just bought a box of it from Marine Life to try it out. its selling at $18, and it can be cured both outside water and inside water.

if cured inside water, colouration will be of deep purple...like coraline algae

if cured outside water, colouration will be of a red colour...

I think lah. according to instruction. haven't started using yet. will post a product review on it when I start using it.
