Water ,once Again

[Ron Tamburrini]

Hi guys
New query re delux materials after the first washout
Got the scenic remeltable stuff and gave it a little trial it solidified but still remained rubbery
does anyone know if it truly goes hard like the solid water is supposed to do .
Given the somewhat iffy results of the latter stuff which I am still waiting on to set after more than
two weeks ,any guff on this stuff would be most welcome .

Hi Ron
i used the remeltable stuff a few months ago, just a small amount and it is definitely still rubbery

But does it collect dust or can it be kept clean ,it does work better than the solid stuff ,havn't got another six weeks to wait on that.

Mine is in a glass case so dust isn't an issue but i get the impression you could blow the dust off, i wouldn't push anything onto it like a cloth or finger as i don't know if it would re settle or if you would be left with a perfect finger print as it is like jelly.

Ok sounds like I will take a chance

I've just done a water feature with cheap epoxy adhesive, £1 a pop off Ebay.
The only thing is it isn't crystal clear, has a dirty pond water tinge, but that was ideal for my needs.
I don't think you'll have a problem with dust sticking to it, as it feels rubbery in it's granular state.
Best of luck with it Ron.

The epoxy idea sounds good Carl, at least it will set. how dirty is dirty ? maybe i should ask DC

Why not use real water and just top it up as needed ?

The solid water has got to be epoxy based anyway just a bit clearer , hunt is on for a two part clear glue then, how deep and how long to set Carl

I only wanted a drop, and epoxy resin goes off after a while.
So that was the best way of doing it,
Carl.

Hi Ron
You can get that epoxy glue in the pound shop.
