I used the two part locktite epoxy but didn't work out ..epoxy works best on dry surfaces and My rock was wet and didn't wana dry it out so I wasted $15 for nothing. Went to my local dollar tree store and picked up a gel type super glue wich work awesome !! And it locks up best on wet surfaces , the rock took a beating while aquascaping in the tank and still hold tight and didn't break apart.
