I have had some practice with the "downhill" water effect. My suggestion... You have three options... 1. Build Natural looking "steps" that will actually culminate in "Chain of Rocks" head dams. Then pour the top (upper) step each time, letting the "water" cascade each time in thin layers. Pouring less on your last pours, and waiting longer to let it set faster after you pour. The trick is that the "steps" must be realistic in where the water "bends" to the next level. If it is between steps, it will look like there is a sudden slow flow coming down (NOT REALISTIC) 2. Pour the steps individually, then slowly start the last pour at the top step (which should be on the verge of "falling") pour just enough to "level out" right down the middle, allowing the envirotex to cascade over each step. 3.. Make it all level, like an older river, less like a stream, with some obstructions like rocks, only near the banks... When mixed, this stuff is like molasses. So it can fool you on how much it will "feather" out as it settles. It really becomes art. Don't panic, you can always add another thin layer with a brush... after all, that is really what it was designed for. It is a wood finish first and formost, and can be applied in a VERY thin layer occasionally to "clean up" the look. (Side note... Weather the heck out of old ties, rail, boats, cars, or whatever unique trash you want, then put that in the bottom structure for conversation. And I mean muddy up the weathering... this is underwater trash, so it won't be colorfull.)
