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.

Makes great looking water and last a long time without shrinking

I used this to make a body of water for a miniature longship. Good application for this product.

It looks great, especially when mixed with just the tiniest drop of blue pain. It has a good shine to it when it dries. However, 20 bucks for the liquid equivalent of what you'd find in an energy drink can really hurt my soul.Also, remember that whatever you are pouring this into needs to be sealed well, otherwise much of it could leak out. I was using this on a clay and dirt diorama set, but there was a little place where the fluid could leak out, and it affected the rest of the set. My fault, but be aware.

item arrived as described. well packaged. quick ship.

I have tried MANY different types . I do not like the mix and pour and this is al ready to go. NO MIXING. Some people think it is expensive, but not much more than the other kinds you need to mix. This is made specifically for layouts, unlike other epoxy types made for other hobbies. Very EASY to use

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.

I was hesitant to purchase this product based on several reviews that noted it has a milky appearance or took weeks to harden.Thankfully those reviews were wrong or at very least not the result if you follow the package directions.The directions very clearly state to pour in thin layers at a time, allowing each thin layer to dry overnight before the next is applied. I worked in thin layers, leveling out and popping the few air bubbles with a needle, and it dried within 12 hours. Final project took about a week to complete to get the "lake" to about one inch thickness, but it dried clear and looks incredibly realistic.
