Epoxy putty

My go to putties in the past have been Apoxy sculpt and Magic sculpt but recently I've noticed an extreme price increase in both products. I realize sometimes this is due to manufacturing costs but it can also be due to supply and demand.
I was wondering if anyone else can recommend a marine safe putty for rock work that might be a tad more economically friendly.

Thanks

JB waterweld. Can be bought at most hardware stores and is loads cheaper then any coral specific epoxy.
