Anything that is marine grade (will set up under water) and suitable for potable (food grade) should work. It's a bit more than regular, but I've used it without problem.

Would SuperGlue not work? I have never used an epoxy but use superglues all the time. I would worry about using an epoxy because it creates a reaction to get both chemicals to bond. 

Are you trying to glue rocks or something? If you find something, please share, because I am interested now.

There are times when epoxy work best, yes like aquascaping it will help hold your rocks together, or epoxy a big colony of frogspawn (or similar coral) in place.

For frags I use super glue gel from any hardware store or BRS carries a nice thick gel but costs a little more.

This stuff works great for making rock structures
