Anyone have a good one, I'm want to mount a frag plug in a hard place. I have tried using tunze coral glue, and another 2 part that does not really work well

If the plug has a stem cut it off, make a ball with the epoxy, place a good amount of glue on the base of the plug, press the epoxy to the glue and and add glue to the bottom of the epoxy. You should now have something like as follows, coral, plug, glue, epoxy, glue; press the coral/glue/epoxy "sandwich" onto the desired location and enjoy with a cold beer ;)

This works for me as well and the cold beer helps you feel better if the plug falls off!

Epo putty is my favorite so far doesnt make the water cloudy skimmer doesnt go crazy when using it and when it cures its hard as a rock

Thanks for the advice just rechecked on the frag, it's still where it was mounted to. It shouldn't move any I used the p method on the super glue and epoxy. P is for plenty. It's already showing some nice polyp extension
