The Woodland Scenics water products, except for E-Z Water, are easy to use, don't smell and look good.

While the majority of my water is done in EnviroTex PourOn (great stuff!), I always use the Woodland Scenics Water Effects to do the surfaces. It comes out looking like really stiff white glue, so it holds shapes very well while curing perfectly clear. Top notch stuff!
