Hello, in my continuing quest to create a perfect sea effect, I must have used just about every product out there, and still not happy with any of them, in short, I believe this is purely down to the level of skill, which I clearly do not have - anyway the reason for this thread - Acrylic gel medium by Spectrum - generally used for making a sea/lake/river effect whereupon you'll either paint the bottom or top or both. This stuff is great for gluing figures into places where a ton of ordinary glue just won't do the job, cork boulders pore glue onto this all day long, however just rest the bottom into the gell, come back in the morning and its set hard, styrene sheet to styrene sheet no problem at all, also this dries clear, and just wondering if anyone else has used acrylic gel medium as a glue ?

G'day Alec,

That sounds like an intriguing technique - do you have any photos of the results, or maybe you can recommend which is a good brand to get?

cheers
