I have a board with water running through it, and what do you paint over the colors on the board, ie. resin. I need to know to make my river look nice.

i believe you can get some water effect stuff from GW- has anyone used this, as im interested too..

I painted the bottom a bluish green and put hot glue all over it and the effect looks pretty nice.

Visitor Q · May 1st, 2006, 18:59

Yes I used a similar process of a river I made as warmaster89 describes.

This article covers rivers rather well.

I may want to use the hot glue gun, as it is very inexpensive...

there are clear polyurethene resins, and some department stores sell a crystal clear resin to used in silk and dried flower arrangements and is what i plan on using in my 4'X8' game table i am building

Dont use hot glue trust me... its hard to work with....and it ist clear it has a big white haze to it

Gojiratoho · May 22nd, 2006, 20:27

Hot glue isn't that hard to work with, but it does have a milky haze when it cools. If you are planning on painting over it, hot glue will work fine.

this sound silly but ask at a local florist i got a good amount of resin for about £12 (sorry i dont know what that is in other currencies) it does get quite hot when its mixed but it didnt affect the plastic i used it on or strip the paint off.

oh ye and why your their you can get some weird alien lookin plants.

good luck
