hello guys,
I have a question about woodland's realistic water. I want to use it, but what kind of material should i use to mask it. Because one time i used cardboard and after it was dry it sticked to the cardboard. Is masking tape an alternative? What can i use?

Cardboard is definitely a no no. You need something that will not absorbe the liquid. Try clear packing tape. I have used it with resin pours and the resin did not stick. The clear tape also allows you to see the depth of the "water".

When I did made a dam to contain the water in the Schwimmwagen base, I covered the cardboard with heavy plastic from a kit's parts bag. I removed the dam once the epoxy 'water' had set up well. I didn't leave it until completely cured as I was afraid the plastic might bond to the 'water'.
How about covering the cardboard with the packing tape. That way you'll have the rigidity of the cardboard for the dam and the nice smooth non-stick surface of the tape.
