Is it readily purchasable from bunnings?

How long does it need to cure before adding water?

What are some good brands to look out for?

Thanks again guys

Aquotixs stocks some wicked Black "Pond Sealer" (Dubbed the "Black Goop") that can cure underwater and is completely Non-toxic.
(Non acetic cure + solvent free).

Excellent for Sticking 3D backgrounds, Repairing ornaments ect

Bunnings doesn't sell this, I can safely assume that most of there stuff is acetic cure, and must dry in air. So you cant use it the same day.

Gold label aquarium and pond sealer. Aquotix stock about 4 different colours. I have used it to install a 3d background in a full tank no problem. The background is still shmick 3 years later.
