Has anyone used JB Weld SteelStik to attach hardscape?

[Noahspapa]

Hello. I’ll be attaching some large rocks and large pieces of driftwood to the rocks and other pieces of driftwood this week. I’ve used paper towel, or cigarette filter type things along with thin super glue in the past but was looking for something that might last a little longer and maybe not be white. I came upon JB weld steelstik. I experimented with it last night. Very easy to use and incredibly effective attaching rock to rock. I read something that said it was safe for drinking water applications. Does anyone have any experience using this they can share? Or know anything about it I should know?

JB makes Water Weld specifically for underwater and food safe applications, and salt water reefers use it in their tanks. I would stick with that

Thank you. I’m not really sure where I read about or saw on YouTube, or where I got the idea to use it from. I bought it a while ago. I have a note into JB weld to inquire. In the mean time I’ll pick up some water weld.

I've been looking for this for a while, thank you!

Seachem has a brown colored version. Seachem - Flourish Epoxy

FYI from JB weld. I had posted a question on their website about the steelstik product. I give them credit for responding promptly.

The Seachem product seems like a good option as I assume it’s been tested for aquatic use.

I'd be too impatient for the 24 hour cure time on any of these epoxies, but I do imagine they'd hold up better over time than the paper towel/superglue method. I just use the ground-up aquasoil method to hide it.
