    I think you made the right choice to go with a single color. If you were going for more of a river vibe, the depth change would look better. However, with a small creek like what you made, the depth would probably be very similar.

    Good choice with the plaster. I have heard that sculpt-a-mold can sometimes leak resin. However, if you mix mod podge with the sculpt-a-mold, then it prevents leaks.

    • @charlessapp1835
      @charlessapp1835 16 днів тому

      Now I see you put glue on top of the plaster. In which case, you would have been fine with the sculpt-a-mold.

      There’s gas, oil, furniture, food, grain, paper, and so many more
