Where to get the molding clay(cement) to mount frags

There are several brands like AquaStik Underwater Epoxy that you can find at any LFS. Home Improvement stores sell similar products that I have used as well but do not recall the brand name.

FYI, Aquastick causes some skimmers to bubble up. It dries in about 30 minutes. So what I used to do was mix the epoxy, let it sit for about 10 minutes until it gets more tacky. Mount my frags taking about 10 minutes. Then put the semi-hardened frag back into the tank. This reduces the amount of foaming.
 
Yea, the Home Depot Aquamend in the paint department with all the glue is good stuff. I just started using it on this board's recomendations and I like it. It mixes to an off white color. About $3.80 a tube.
 
The aquamend white turns reef-rock grey/green/purple after a few months, so you hardly notice it.

If you want to get fancy you can buy the deltec stuff that's coralline pink color to start with.
