Has anyone tried Waterplug to make rocks? I is also manufactured by Thoro like the Thorite. It is a hydraulic cement which means it cures underwater. In air, it cures within 3-5 minutes which may be a help or hinderance. I've looked into the paperwork as we use a lot of it at work. Interestingly, Waterplug is approved for potable water use and Thorite is not. Seems like Waterplug would be OK in a reef with that distinction. I can bring some to try in addition to Thorite if anyone wants to take a shot at it. I might practice a little on Saturday first.

Bruce, you're welcome to bring some (I'm curious how it compares to thorite). I use the thorite simply to hold the rocks together by filling in the cavities between the rocks with Zipties in between. I wouldn't use thorite itself to make the rock structure, it would be too dense, and defeats the purpose of having porous and (eventually) living rocks



BY THE WAY GANG, I don't need any more pillars, so a hands-on tutorial while everyone is making theirs is what it's gonna be...Just like arts and crafts in School :)

Andy, do you have a "mess" area that we can (or rather not to) destroy?

I 0rdered some Marco fuji rock branchs and I have some other old dead rock to make pillars for my 90. I also picked up some of his threaded rods. I know I asked this already but do you think you will have some of that putty stuff to spare Merv?

I have enough to put one pillar in the raffle. That should get some tickets?

I believe we do Ed, I have 10-12 cups left... (I used 2 cups when I made mine); a little bit of thorite goes a very long way. It just needs to be mixed (like cement) a little bit at a time since it hardens in less than 10 minutes.

It is very helpful to the host & hostess of our monthly meetings for folks to bring a covered dish/appetizer to help cover the food/side dishes for the meeting. Anyone planning on bringing food should update your RSVP with any food items you plan on bringing so that others can plan accordingly with what they bring along (wouldn't it be a hoot if everyone brought a taco dip?).

Andy, quick question: Can I either use your microwave or oven for a short period of time? I've decided instead of bringing 2 cold dips, I'll make a big batch of baked spinach and artichoke dip and bring crackers and stuff to dip. I'll be baking it at home, but it'll taste best if I could reheat it briefly. Of course I'll still bring the Smirnoff Ice. :)

I believe we get it from Kenseal which is in Pennsauken or a nearby town. They have other location which may be closer to you.

Thanks Bruce, I looked on the manufacturer's website and they actually list a sku number specifically for Home Depot. I am going to look there this weekend. I also found that you can order it through Ace hardware and have it shipped to a local store so there is no shipping. I'll post where I got it when I get my hands on some in case anybody else is interested.
