Aquarium Advice Activist
Hi!
Just bought this at the hardware store.
PC Epoxy
There's an aquarium drawing on the top, says it cures underwater, the faq on the website says it's ok for reef use. But here what bugs me :
Is PC-11 Marine Grade paste safe to use in an established salt water reef aquarium? I need to bond some coral pieces to rock.
PC-11 will hold up to the salt water and once it cures, it is non-toxic.
What? While it cures everything dies! Or is it some way to defend themselves against pursuits?
Here is the technical data I found.

What do you think? I think it's ok, but that AFTER it cures thing scare me.
