I had great luck making a river scene on a peninsula because I could easily **** both ends of the river following David Popp's advice in the Thin Branch videos. Now I have to do two rivers on a shelf layout. ****ing the isle side, no problem. But how do I **** the back wall side. The layout is not perfectly snug against the wall. I can see light below the benchwork in the areas I need to pour. I understand resin will find any unplugged holes.
Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
We can say both dam and corona beer in the forum. I'm pretty sure he used caulk in the Canadian Canyon videos. You are correct, it will find any hole.
There was a recent thread on it leaking through plaster cloth.

Put down wet plaster cloth and fold it up against the wall. When the plaster cloth dries, put down a thin coat of Hydrocal to seal it.

Seal it with a caulk you can paint. Tool it flat, so it doesn't look like a caulk joint. Wet the tool you use with soapy water so the caulk doesn't stick to the tool.
Let the caulk dry, or get a good "skim-over" , paint it to match the areas around it, then pour the resin.
A paintable latex caulk will work.

EDIT: Rich posted while I typed. What he suggested also would work.

Or it could be a Freudian slip.

Thanks for the suggestions. I knew someone on the forum would have some good ideas. That is what I love about this forum. As I become a better modeler, I hope I can answer some questions too.
