Bad river water

Here's my experience with WS Realistic Water which has some similarities to your situation. <br /> <br />The water I was pouring required severasl pours to get the correct depth. The first four pours went as advertised. The next pour turned cloudy. It took a considreable amount of time to clear up -- not the advertised 24 hours. Followed-up with another pour. It took even longer. It got to the point that it was taking 6 months to clear up. <br /> <br />I decided enough of this and ignored the cloudiness. I followed the instruction did a pour, waited 24 hours,another pour, and continued until I had the depth I wanted. <br /> <br />Guess what! In 6 months all the cloudiness was gone. <br /> <br />Even when "hardened" this stuff retains some plasticity. I placed a railroad car on the slick surface. A week later I went to put the car back on the track. Whoops. The Realistic Water surface was no longer smooth. There were impressions where the wheelsets from the railroad car had been sitting. I poured some more WS-RW over the surface to again get a smooth surface. <br /> <br />I'm still using the stuff, but wonder about going back to the stinking two-part epoxies. They haven't killed me yet and the stink does go away It's cheaper. Mix it, pour it and let it set. You're done. <br /> <br />Back to the cloudy river. Give it six months and see if you need to tear it out and start over. <br /> <br />Bill
