From reading, people have mentioned not to use just any old epoxy. So far i have been told BSI [bob smith industries] or West Systems marine grade epoxy

West systems epoxy is what I used on my wall. Also the ONLY epoxy I will use. I also used it to make custom carbon fiber telescope tubes. This is how my wall came out.
Any of the West Marine stores across the Island stock it. Best to use 105 epoxy and 206 hardener. Gives about a 30 minute pot life and 90-110 minute hardening time.
Any West Marine on Long Island or New Jersey carries it. A quart of resin and a pint of hardener, the special mix pumps (Wouldn't mix the stuff without them) will run you about $80. Absolutely worth every penny of it. One of the best epoxy resins money can buy and a 100% proven system. Resin from HD is for fiberglass use and is not in the same league. It can be used but I wouldn't. As far as 2 part epoxy for securing the rocks and other loose items I used Great Planes 6 minute 2 part. LOTS of hobby stores carry it.
