Other Uses for Woodland Scenics Water Tint
Posted by JackMack on Sunday, February 14, 2021 11:49 AM

I'm going to end up with a lot of leftover Woodland Scenics Water Tint.  Are there other uses for it?  Especially, can it be used to make a usable paint?  How?  On what materials?  (I'm new at all this, so apologies if this is a dumb question.)  Thanks very much.

I see that you are not the kind of guy who likes to waste things Smile. Maybe you can experiment on something, like mixing it with plaster or scuptamold and report back on the results.

I use Envirotex for water and I tint it with a drop of two of cheap craft store acrylic paint.  That works fine for me.  Does anyone know what's in their water?

As I typed this, I realized that I don't even know exactly what's in the water that comes out of my faucets.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Here is the MSDS which lists the ingredients for Envirotex Lite:
