Grab one liao.

The feel of the epoxy is good - does not stick to the plastic it comes with unlike the Deltec. The problem with Deltec is it comes in two part and the purple part always sticks to the plastic wraps causing wastage! ;) Aslo during kneading the purple colour will stick on our hands thus give me the feeling that it is does not bind well with the hardener well.

The Aquaz Epozy Fix have cleverly pre-mixed the white sticky part inside the green hardening part so that its messy and stick on our hands and ensure easy mixing. :D

Stay tuned....... ;)

Took it out from its packaging, the smell is stronger than Deltec. Kneading it is much simplier and although like the Deltec, there are some remants sticking onto hands but due to the fact that it is white, it is not so offensive. :D

Handles like Deltec in water, have to clean the surface from algae and slime and hold for the minimum of 20sec before you let go. :D

In order to be more effective, I took the small lobo frag and gorgonian frag from the water, clean and dry the lobo skeleton and the small rock for the gorgonian and apply the Epozy. B)

Once they slightly adhere, I immediately place them into the intended place and hold for 15 to 20 secs and just leave it to cure. ;)

Overall, I feel that it is well worth the $$$ cuz it function just as well as the Deltec but cost a fraction of the price. Plus the fact that it does not paint my fingers purple! I will get them again. ;)

Now, for the next step, i will try to stick the Epozy underwater directly on a LR. I have tried it many times with other brands but usually end up on the bottom of the tank once I release my pressure. :(

I chose a piece of LR with some filamentous alage and deritus to see whether it can stick. I guess I was to ambitious - it did nit stick as with other epoxies. But unlike some epoxy that will quickly hardens and thus becomes useless, the Epozy can still be kneaded under water! :D

After several attempts of kneading applying and kneading, I notice the epozy have pick up most od the deritus on top of the LR and thus begining to stick on the LR rather than my hand. All this was done on just the same piece of Epozy totally underwater. For it will soften if you knead it a couple of more time and will be 'sticky' again and imagine the amount of deritus it has pick so that the bare suface of the LR is exposed! :yeah:

Within 30sec, I am able to stick the Epozy on a piece of LR without prior scrubbing to remoce deritus. :D

Will check back later.......sty tuned folks :D

Why don't just use a toothbrush to clean the surface? Much faster.

Wanted to test the lazy man way. :lol::lol::lol:

Anyway, I have since done the following:

Plaster another piece of Epozy on the back of my Echino and bring the new Epozy with the Echino to adhere with the dried Epozy on the LR. It works and within 2sec I let go my hand and go about doing my other stuff.

With come back to it tomorrow. ;)
