Referring to your comment on the other thread about no one answering this one.  It could be that no one has done it yet.  Take a small piece of the grass mat and be the first to give it a try, post your results to inform others how your experiment worked.  All the great ideas these folks have started with an experiment somewhere in the history of the hobby.

Good luck,

I would expect epoxy type water to crack, and not to curl, if you want to force the water component to the radius of the rest of the roll.  You would need a pliable silicon-like substance to curl, not a surface that is meant to be kept generally flat on it's surface, or perhaps slightly textured for a wave/ripple effect.
