Hi, I read quite a few blogs and articles on creating water and most of them recommended Envirotex. Since I dont have access to this product in my country, I checked in eBay and found this -

just want to if this is the product modellers use before I purchase it. And also would like to know if it dries as clear, hard and with a gloss effect.

Yes, it's the one.
the two bottles can be seen on their website

Yes, yes and yes for the other questions

I've tried envirotex lite in thin layers and its great but I don't know if you can pour in thick layers.

I use gedeo crystal resin:

I also used Easy Cast from envirotex:

And add a texture layer on top with an acrylic modelling gel like this one:
