In fact I did wonder if there was a way of using "water" as part of an optical illusion to create an artifical horizonJames Finisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351798531269786632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015792618471574238.post-67416722663689206952022-01-31T01:04:47.761-08:002022-01-31T01:04:47.761-08:00Keeping the board horizontal is essentail, but lea...Keeping the board horizontal is essentail, but leads me to one of the best model railway building stories. <br /><br />Interviewing the builder of Hadarford, which is housed on a narrow boat, he explaiend that normally, the vessel isn't flat. The heavy engine lowers the stern. So, when pouring water, he had to wait until the boat was in dry dock, on supports and therefore flat!Phil Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673614093646938053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015792618471574238.post-23384173234095646482022-01-31T00:46:24.884-08:002022-01-31T00:46:24.884-08:00Frog tape seems to be the best barrier I've fo...Frog tape seems to be the best barrier I've found so far. Also the Aqua Magic doesn't seem that adhesive. Apart from price the possible downside with the Aqua Magic is it seems to remain fluid well after you think it is solid. That has both pros and cons. Initial imperfections in the pour equal out, but it is inadvisable to move the board from straight and level for several days.James Finisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351798531269786632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015792618471574238.post-72149518906619457662022-01-29T09:16:05.620-08:002022-01-29T09:16:05.620-08:00Last time I poured water, I stuck the model to the...Last time I poured water, I stuck the model to the bench and baseboards together.
