Is This Epoxy Safe

Hello all, I saw this blue tube of epoxy in lowes and was wondering if it was reef safe. It says "marine epoxy" on the label.

I dunno about that one, but home depot sells aquamend for about $2 cheaper than that one and it is safe.

I used Loctite lastnight. It is safe. I went to a local LFS. They had TLF epoxy for 22. I could not belive it. Loctite is good stuff
