Woodland ScenicsRealistic Water - 16 oz

Works very well with minimal work. Simple directions that yield great results. Takes a little while to dry, but well worth the wait.Update for clarification:Three things you should know that my husband did not realize when I gave it to him:1.Do not shake the container--as you shake it, it heats and could start to harden in the bottle;2.The viscosity of this stuff is not very high, so the best thing to do is add one thin coat at a time to avoid making a mess (Note: when we say thin, we mean less than 5mm or 1/4 in, closer to 3mm or 1/8 in)--think similar to polyurethane coating;3.DO NOT put this stuff directly on styrofoam. It is primarily used for model railroad terrain and not historical miniature terrain. You can use it on the styrofoam hexes, but you will have to seal the styrofoam first with a really good water-based paint or a thin but uniform coating of elmer's glue. If the artificial water seeps through a blotchy coating, it will dissolve standard styrofoam hexes. I also recommend using more applications of thinner layers if you try this on sealed styrofoam, just to make sure that you don't have any runoff seeping down the edge of the hex.

This product is expensive for the amount of surface area you get from one bottle but I’m happy with the results for my Christmas village. Make sure you read all directions prior to using and seal any foam prior to using. It’s a great product and has many uses.

Product works great. Very easy to use follow the directions. If you are pouring a deep water area you may want to use Woodland Scenics deep water pour system. Shallow water this works great. It can be used for deep water you just have to do in layers and let set 24 hours between layers . I’ve used it for shallow and deep. It looks great you just have to be patient with the time it takes to do the layers.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Pour in thin layers. 1st 3 I used artists acrylics to add the colors. Added 2 layers of clrar coat. The only issue I had is with mixing the paint, it creates bubbles. Love this suff.

item arrived as described. well packaged. quick ship.

Makes great looking water and last a long time without shrinking

This is very easy to use just pour and let sit. The bad part is that I have had several bottles of this and they have not set up fully. At almost 30.00 a bottle it is expensive and you will get more for your money just using epoxies. One note when pouring into foam you have to make sure that it is completely sealed as it will flow into the pores or spaces before sealing. Also make sure you are working in warm temperatures as it will not solidify in temps below 50 degrees.

This realistic water requires patience if you're doing a deep water feature!! I used this to make a fairly large, (5 ft x 4 in), dollhouse koi pond with waterfall. (It takes more than one bottle).I only poured a scant 1/8th inch with each application and allowed 48 hours of dry time, with the frame braced both ways in case of any shrinking or swelling. It turned out PERFECT. Dried clear, didn't bubble around the koi fish. I wish I had found this before destroying two other water features trying clear glue. STUPID!!Also, do NOT use on porous materials without coating them with a clear varnish first. Common sense.
