Did this for a member. Acrylic rods and epoxy

What kind of epoxy do you use?

 

[JonnyJ]

Waterweld, can definitely get expensive. They were much cheaper around 5-6 years ago

I have also used the stuff Marco rocks offers

Us plastics .com is where I got mine. Real cheap I think i paid $15 for 4 6ft rods

The listed price one of them is 5 cents
That means is 5 cents per foot!!?

If you have the money or want some self confidence on knowing there will never be an avalanche I used e marco 400. This stuff is stronger than the rocks your glueing together.heres the website:

Ive also used the marcorocks mortar, great stuff! Can do any size/shape you want and once it hardens it is very strong and secure.

Easier to use than jb weld? Abd you can use this stuff under water? Also is it a lot they give ya? I'd love to add more to strengthen some stuff I made

I bought about 5 feet of 1/2 inch acrylic rid from canal plastics for about 6 dollars each. I'm looking to do my next aquascape right this time

 

[ducati335i]

I used rods, jb weld, glue and zip ties.. But I used them to hold together then used jb weld over everything again. I just want to make it even stronger, I'll either use this or jb weld.. A little over kill but I prefer that
