    I have a flat rock I'd like to place this acan on. Last time I tried it was a nightmare. Any suggestions?

    For that one, I would use a sandwich of putty and superglue. Put some gel superglue opn the base of the acan, then put putty on that. Add some more superglue, and push on to the spot you want it to be placed at.

    Should be in this order:

    Acan - superglue - putty - superglue
