<p>[quote user="Lone Wolf and Santa Fe"]</p> <p>Woodland Scenics E-Z Water is small plastic pellets which you melt on a stove and pour onto your layout. I found out the hard way that it will melt (and therefore destroy) any plastic that it comes in contact with. It will also crack plaster similar to the way hot oil may break a cold glass. I would not recommend using it. Their other water products might be fine. I haven’t tried any of them.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>That is good information to know. I was not planning on using Ez-water as I have been told it cracks with wild temperature swings that happen to modular layout in this part of the US (75F --> 30 or less then back to 75-85 in the show hall when full of people). Works out rather poorly. But the info about the product in general will be useful to know for other projects, thank you.</p> <p>I intend to use either the deep pour water or the realistic water for this project. Has anyone heard of either of these products interacting with paints stains or other metals (leaching of color or otherwise, so that I might avoid disaster)?</p> <p> </p>
