    Well, sticking plaster I mean as to be a short term fix,
    Dubious because it leaves a nuked rock, and once all the chemical has been released from the rock, a prime site for algae growth. I may be totally wrong about this because I have never used it, and never will.

    Ok I am still totally confused. You are talking about sticking plaster (I assume you mean the moldable 2-part reef safe epoxy?) and Hydrogen Peroxide in the same sentence like they are the same thing. ??

    I think it's called a BAND AID in the US ( but not sure ), must be a British saying.

    Oooooohhh I get it now... I've seen it also here in mexico that some people sell "hydrogen peroxide" but it's kind of cream, they use it to dye hair...

    To avoid confusion with anyone who reads this... we are talking about using 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) solution without anything else than 97% Water + 3% Hydrogen Peroxide... Beware also that you may find 30% Hydrogen peroxide or 50% Hydrogen peroxide, that would melt your reef right away.
