Just found you on you tube and loving your explanations and advice. I'm 74 in Rangiora, and starting to build my first railway layout for the grandsons (and me !) Keep up the fantastic videos.
Me and my dad went through his old 220 scale railroad models and stuff. And I found one of those bags with the water effect in them. Thank you for the help by making this video!
I am saddened to tell you that it turned into a disaster. This is is not a criticism of your video. I just wanted to tell you what happened last weekend. I followed the instructions on the packet & heated it slowly on the stove. When I came to pour it, I kept the pot as close to the terrain as was possible. Everything was fine until the near end of the pour and then lots of bubbles started to appear. I tried to tease them out with a wooden cocktail stick but it just seemed to make things worse. Then within 1 or 2 minutes it started to set. Rock solid. Afterwards, I tried to prise off using a flat chisel. Then I tried drilling 30-odd holes around it to try and break it free - No joy. In the end, I have opted for covering it with new layer of plaster and will try again with an epoxy mix. I don't know why it went wrong. Maybe it reacted to the acrylic base paint? Maybe it reacted to the plaster underneath? I have no idea. Perhaps the product is not suitable for deeper water? My model is TT scale. A semi-elevated dog bone surrounded by one low level track and sidings.
thank you very much for the demo! I was wondering what was the glue you used to glue the tufts and driftwood at the bottom of the riverbed. We are going to use EZ water in a water feature we are working on and we have some scenery to glue in the pond. Thanks!
Now that it's been down for a while, is it durable? Did it fully harden? Can it easily be cleaned of dust? Does the color change over time? Does it crack or chip?
I was only after a subtle amount of rock, the landscape is not rocky and you wouldn't expect to see many rocks (if any) in a water reservoir built early 1900's.

You're most welcome, I hope whatever water effect project you're working on has a successful outcome.
Great video thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have ordered this product & will attempt to fill my stone quarry lake at the weekend.

I found this very useful.
I'm getting ready to do the river on my layout.

[thank, you for you're video]👍🇺🇸 🏴
Much appreciated.
If you have some leftover, you can let it go cold and reheat to use again. Enjoyed the video.

That looks very realistic water Looks like it is somewhere in Scotland where you can have a wee dram .I would recomend Famose Grouse
Hi
Super video, that turned out great and looked relatively simple apart from figuring out how much to use.
Cheers Paul 👍
Great Video. I am thinking of trying it. Thanks. Happy New Year.
Looks great!
Nice job
Looks great
Happy new year to you too. If this was round here I would have to add at least one shopping cart and an old bike frame :-)
well done! thanks for sharing. to be honest, nothing scares me more than pouring a river.
Happy 2020!!! Some people use a small mirror where the river stops to give some idea of continuity...
If going for the disused look, add some ballast,dirt, and weeds to the top of the intake tower...
Hi mate I think i will use that water I my harbours on my layout but i will not use the wife good pots ? happy new year clive
Very cool 👍
Should of used a few rock to fill the space a bit more.... So nice to hear, and see a kiwi modelling

good thinking for an easy way to work out volume needed ;)
Think my wife would kill me if I used her good pot...she wasn’t happy when I used all the house paint to make all my flocking material
