When will it be available?

This video gives more details of the adhesive and how works.

When will it be available?

The product is ready to go and will most like be available by the end of the year. We took it to MACNA to show how it works and get some product feedback before we launch.

In the past, when I sent out samples for others to try, there was a lot of confusion how to use it. It's a totally different product and requires rethinking in the way we glue corals.

I watched the video with Richard, and am very intrigued and look forward to using this product when it hits the market! I think it’s a great idea!

Only one question I have that didn’t see discussed how does it handle flow, when a drag is reintroduced to the aquarium in the initial tacky phase. Does it break apart etc.

 

[ChampionLighting]

I appreciate the questions, this will help us develop our FAQ for the product.

No, the adhesive is negatively buoyant and will not degrade underwater. Water speeds up the cure process, but does not dissolve the adhesive. It's not like cement or 2-part epoxy which will create a cloud if rubbed underwater or placed in a high flow area.

Can anyone get this stuff to adhere frags to plugs? I have watched videos, saw the demo at the FFM, and still can’t get it to hold. Frags fall off even after being in the water for almost an hour.
