Excellent work EPI, just one question. Did you place the vegitation in the water then pour around it, or place it after?? And is that stuff (new water product) horribly toxic??

Bison,
To answer your question, no the "Realistic Water" is not toxic. There is no order what so ever. I painted the surface fist then I placed the vegitation. After that was secured and the glued tried, I started pouring in the water. You have to pour it in about 1/8 layers. Need less to say, there is about 6 to 10 layers of water there and it took about a week for all to completely dry. about the 3 or 5th layer, I smeered a light wash of Polly Scale Mud around and started pouring the final layers. Oh, as I was pouring layers, foilage from the bushes next to it fell, just leave it, it looks pretty cool embedded in the water.
