Hi, I've not much experience with water effects and the section I have tried hasnt come out very well (uneven, bubbles etc) - is there a way to fix this or does anyone have tips to potentially cover it up e.g. foliage, plants? |

I can't make suggestions with so little information. What did you use to create the effect? |

I used "Deluxe Materials" scenic water, it comes solid in a jelly like blob which you warm up and then pour |

I have not tried that brand. I do not use the Woodland Scenic version because it turns yellow. If you have a hair dryer try reheating. I do not have much confidence that will remove bubbles. It may smooth it out a bit. A real heat gun will be too hot. |

Thanks I will try reheating, if not I think I should be able to remove it from the board and start again |

Before you start over, take some super fine grit sandpaper, wet it a bit and sand away. Once you have a smooth surface, do another pour. Be sure to remove all the dust and loose material first. Make sure your surface is level and you can smooth things over with a piece of plastic, like they use to smooth out wallpaper. Let us know how it works out. |

I managed to remove it, I retried using woodland scenics water effects which was a lot easier to work with and it turned out better Thanks for your help |
