Questions

Reef Crest Aqua WELD PRO is a unique thermoplastic polymer made up of small plastic beads which melt at around 60 degrees Celsius.

Aqua WELD PRO contains specially treated purple beads that when mixed with the clear ones more closely simulates coralline algae and thus blends into your established aquarium better.

By heating these beads in hot water the aquarist can easily melt the pellets to form a transparent flexible material. Once melted the opaque white pellets fuse together, become transparent and soften. You can then fuse rockscapes, repair plastic parts, or virtually anything else you want together for a lasting and very strong bond.

Features:

Re-usable as many times as required
Purple color blends into established aquariums.
Great for aquascaping and general DIY work.
100% non-toxic
Very strong once hard
Easy to mold by hand - no sticky residue
Cures in minutes underwater
Safe for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Directions:

Determine how much Aqua WELD you will require to perform the task (when using Aqua WELD, keep in mind that it is similar to using two-part epoxy, but without the mess, and tank clouding).

Heat some water in a microwave to approx. 60 C (approx. 1-2min in a 1200W microwave), or to just below boiling, and pour in the pellets. Allow the pellets to become transparent (usually takes 10-15 seconds)

Remove from the water with a utensil (a fork works best) and mold the Aqua WELD around the pieces you want to fuse together. As the mixture cools it will harden in place, but you can reheat it in order to reshape.

250ml Container contains 150 Grams (net weight) of Aqua WELD.

Very good for most uses with proper technique

As far as mixing I used a clear coffee mug with water heated to 65'C. Added 1 heaping tablespoon per batch. product is clear in under a minute and I used the same spoon to gather it together and remove. Kneed together to blend color. Its hot so move between different fingers so you don't burn yourself. Blends quickly and then pinch off 4 or 5 balls of product and throw them back in the cup. I had prepped my dry rock so I just used 2 or 3 balls to rough join 2 pieces and pushed the product around the joint. Its like putty and molds easily. Carefully use the rest to finish around the joint.It takes 10 minutes to fully harden so be patient and add more after the initial joint is cured. For dry rock this is the best product all around and I've used them all. Works almost as good for wet rock outside of the tank. For rock inside the tank you need a helper so can prep the rock while the helper grabs a larger blob of premixed material for the joint. It hardens faster in water but if you move quickly you can still mold the big blob around the joint and the upside is it stabilizes quickly. As far as attaching coral frags it is not the product I would use. #1 its too hot and will damage tissue for sure and #2 the smaller blobs harden quickly underwater so you have limited time and #3 there are so many better ways. Cheers.

very difficult to work with

got it recently very difficult to deal with , you have to deal with the heat and be careful not to burn yourself , it becomes hard immediately once you immerse it in water
I would look for other options to weld your corals
