Hi all,
I made some ice chunks for 1/4 t beer trailer on my dio and wanted to share the easy method. After a few attempts with different materials, I cut pieces from hot glue gun transparent silicone stick, sprinkled salt, sealed with matt cote. Then painted many coats with acrylic gel and a few final coats with gloss varnish. Not perfect but works with bud cans.
Thanks to Jean Bernard for his useful tips.




best regards
Engin

I think these look super realistic. Can't wait for you to show us how it all looks in the beer trailer.
