After I had painted the bottom of the pond I went over it with chalks to blend in the colors. Turns out gloss medium and WS's realwater don't bond to chalk so I was able to pop the "water" right out of the pond without damage to the scenery base!I then repoured with the WS's realwater. Another note is that either product and every other product I've ever used to do water "creeps" up the scenery so this time
I poured the water and let it cure then added the bushes, dead tree and what have you and have no unsightly "creep" to contend with.
That's a good looking pond,
I bought a couple of cans of two-part casting cement to use if and when I needed water. Two years later when I needed it, I found that this stuff will harden in the can even when it's sealed. :o The pond was small, so I wound up using some two-part clear epoxy since the nearest LHS is a 15 mile drive from my house and Ace Hardware is just down the street. When it dried, it left some natural ripples, which was good,
but like you, I did get some of that creep that I had to deal with afterwards.
