That's the stuff i used for water on the lift-out for the doorway to my layout room. It works very well just be sure the area is watertight and level as this resin is like water until it hardens.

I'm "trying" to do a harbor now.  Only problem is that I'm getting inconsistent pours even though I'm carefully measuring equal parts.  Small pours, i.e. 10 ml. each of resin and hardener seem to yield a hard surface in about eight hours.  BUT, when I try to mix, for example, two ounces of each, then do a pour, it's remaining tacky almost indefinitely (now almost two weeks), even though I stir with a frozen pop stick for two or three minutes and use the double container mixing method suggested by the manufacturer.  I even chucked a frozen pop stick in an electric drill and thoroughly mixed it that way at rather slow speed (but faster than by hand) for three minutes, all to no avail.  Since the mouth of the harbor will be about two actual inches deep, I'm getting really discouraged.  Anyone have a solution?

If you haven't figured out your problem yet ,is your mixing stick rounded or flat at the end? it needs to be flat! to get the resin on the sides of the container. and I have found that keeping this material upstairs at about 76 degrees or so for a day before you pour makes a difference instead of keeping it in a cool basement . also I put an oil filled electric heater under my layout to speed up the curing process, hope this helps you.
