Woodland Scenics Realistic Water - 16 oz

Installation instructions could be better and recommend pre-assembly to attach light and panel to brackets before trying to attach to pole.

item arrived as described. well packaged. quick ship.

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.

caution: when using on foam or porous materials i recommend cutting a small piece of clear plastic to serve as a liner thus eliminating any possibility of leaks

Makes great looking water and last a long time without shrinking

Let me tell you my experience: I used this on a 1/16 river diorama and I was totally frustrated, since this liquid NEVER solidifies!!!It hardens out a little, but it's always fluid...The instructions say it dries out after 2 days, but 3 months later my river kinda melted down and ruined my work.I suppose it works fine on a pond or on a very small-scale diorama (HO), but it's useless once you get to 1/32 scale or higher...Oh, and it can be easily scratched if you rub your finger over its surface, so it's impossible to clean it with a cloth.I learned my lesson and built a 2nd diorama with an epoxy-based resin, and it worked out perfectly.

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.
