- This one really surprised me! After a really interesting comment on the first Still Water video, I tested out different options for making Ice effects with AK INteractives Still Water which you can get here (amzn.to/3TRmKmX). Which will be your favourite option?

A great in depth (well, 2mm) look at this effect, I'll dig my bottle out!
Have fun!
Got to say mate only recently found your channel but you deserve many more subs. Great info delivered in a fantastic way
It's a work in progress 😀. But thank you, I do very much appreciate it!
WOW the Superglue into the wet gel is phenomenal! I will 100% be using this. great experiments, thank you.
You are very welcome!
4th one is pretty awesome
Yeah that was quite a nice suprise!
Great vid… Would be interesting to see how that end-result for super-frosted-liquid would look if the gel had some colour tints to it and added layers
Yes I still want to test that out a bit more
Thanks for the vid and ideas, at least I have a reason to dig my bottle of AK still water out to use it again because I had no luck using it for water effects. I really like the effect with superglue.
Yeah, that was interesting, wasn't it. Have fun!
You probably mentioned it in the other video (will check it out now), but in case it is useful for more people: always store AK still water in the dark, lest it will turn opaque like milk; according to reddit it happened to more people too... also, I’ve never been able to prevent cracks above 1,5 mm...
As for superglue imitating ice, why not trying to mix it with just plain water? As it turns mostly opaque like ice with moisture, water should do the trick... as baking soda (aka non carcinogenic superglue accelerator) also does the trick, maybe a solution of baking soda in water would work in « icefying » superglue with more control than both water and baking soda (and it would speed up curing and also harden superglue)...
There’s also a frost product from green stuff world I haven’t tried...
Anyway, great video!
Thanks! Hmmm that's interesting. I had not heard about or experienced any issues with storing AK Still water. Although admittedly, mine has not been stored in direct sunlight. But worth being aware of!
I wonder if melted candle wax would give a similar ice effect? One thing I've noticed about Vallejo water effect (which I would imagine is pretty similar to the AK) is that it can become semi-opaque if the model is stored somewhere slightly damp, like a shed or garage.
Really? What sort of time period are you talking about?
@@FlyingRavenStudios Not all that long, though hard to say exactly. Six to eight months, at a guess. The previous owner of my house had converted the garage into another room, and I've been storing a lot of my gaming stuff out there. It does have heating, but the single-skin walls mean it can sometimes feel a bit damp, to the extent that I've now put a dehumidifier out there, and I've been putting silica gel bags in with the scenery that has water effects.
That's interesting. I hadn't heard of that being an issue before. Good to know, thanks parazatico!

Thanks mate!
