    I use the epoxy putty. It works but it is not that strong. If you move the rock to much or drop it, the rocks WILL come apart. If however your just looking for it to be secure enough to not fall once you have it positioned in your tank, its fine. You have to be very gentle moving the rock work in the tank and also its even harder to secure rock with the epoxy if your working with any wet peices. Dry the LR off first on the spot your attaching it to. Make sure the spot has no loose particles on it and scuff the area a little.

    Lots of people use dowels and holes drilled into the rock.

    In my diy video I used gorilla glue... Just make sure it is dry when u put it in and you can soak it before to make sure it's fully inert
