Another question....flexible water effects?
« on: 21 July 2013, 07:17:53 PM »
I'm thinking of embedding a pool or similar in a terrain piece that may end up with a bit of "give" or flex in it. I was wondering if anyone had ever had any problems with cracking water effects or if there are any products available that remain a little flexible once set or at least a touch of rubberiness?
Thanks fellows!

There is a meltable substance but you'll have to wait until tomorrow so I can check our catalogues at work  :)

Try either Woodland Scenics or Vallejo they both make flexible water that can be used as a waterfall.  I am sure that there are other manufacturers of railroad scenery that also make similar.

How about clear silicone caulk?  Stays flexible.  All I got right now so I hope it helps.

I have a pot of the meltable stuff but it went off to storage Thursday evening.... It has some flex to it, plus if it does crack you can warm it up to fill them back in. The real downside to it is it's a bit of a dust catcher, you can't just wipe off like a proper hard substance, need to be more gentle.
So many projects..... so little time.......

That's true and on another note it does pick up fingerprints quite easily  :?

But as long as your careful you'll be fine  :)

It called Deluxe Materials Scenic Water and I got it from EMA.
