    If your talking about the epoxy sticks green on the out side and white in the middle. I used some a few weeks ago to glue down some SPS frags. Already they are starting to grow over the epoxy. I got them at ACE I'm not sure if it was the ACE brand I just got the cheapest one.

    Yeah, you can use that. Keep in mind it takes forever to set... so you can't use it to like mount something sideways really... it needs to be able to hold itself where you want it until this can set...
