Hi, for my next dio (picture below) am planning to make a small stream. Got my hands on woodland scenics realistic water. Would like to know how to block the two ends so that when I pour the solution in the gap it doesn't spill out from either side. Any info will be of help to me. Thanks.

Hey Sudeep, usually my water is held in by the frame of my base. But I have seen others use allot of stuff. A piece of plastic held by clamps or some molding clay, the stuff that does not dry up. With the plastic I would coat it with something so the water wont attatch itself to it. Maybe a gass piece would work but test first.
