     Tom,
I really do not know, but since we're discussing water, do you have any tips about creating water on the layout.  I'm new to model railroading and would appreciate the best tips first so I shouldn't have to redo anything. :)

yea I have a few tips
1. what ever you use for water paint the base a black to very dark green not blue (Yes no blue :o )
2. make sure your base is water tight (YOU DONT want resin or expocy or what ever you use were you dont want water, Duh )
3. there are many ways to model water and i ONLY have tried TWO of them so get more replys than just mine!!!  ;D

I have more tips if you need then by the way. 8)

Woodland Scenics makes it. Saw it demonstrated at a train show. You can make a waterfall, rapids, etc quite easily. Suggest you get to a train show, The WGH or similar and see a demo.  You will be convinced.

Best Wishes,

Jack

I have never used it, but if it is what I think it is, it is great for some things.   If it is the product that you melt with a heat gun, then you can make things like waves.
