Old Ford Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes it was mate, the hardist part was removing the old resin . Was stuck in well , after re paint then seal with pva. Then the next day mixed the two part resin kit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big kit which is just short of £20 , did four water troughs as well as the pond and stream. I think its excellent stuff, very easy to use to .

Old Ford Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 painted underneath?? i have white insulation down you see, althugh a gravel base might work it may eat in to the insulation if its like the polystyrene cups, they say dont use them to mix with. if you could make up a water prof barrier i'd think it would be ok Fraser is the chap to talk to.

THEBRITFARMER Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 will have a word with them two at malvern then, see what they recon, cheers mate My friend swears by this stuff. He make a river for his toy soldier layout and it looks the mutts! I believe he used a product called water putty (in the US) and he sealed the base and sides with it. Works a treat. http://www.waterputty.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 We tried loads of different products before we found Magic Water and they all cracked and yellowed within a couple of months (no matter how expensive they were!), plus there were problems if you wanted deeper water \ It's the only product we recommend now. Glad it worked for your Mark - the pond certainly looks the business. * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Magic Water it doesn't matter how deep you won't need to do it in sections (as with similar products). You can just simply pour it in to the required depth and leave it. The most important thing to remember is that it will find any holes in your base - just like real water. So sealing first is very important (we used PVA and varnish).
