That's the first time I've seen that excellent product demonstrated Dave, and you did a superb job that was easy to follow. The warning about not using the wife's best pan....was invaluable, and will no doubt save quite a few marriages.....Bob
For a smaller water project, it is sometimes possible to buy smaller quantities of these plastic beads on eBay etc. WARNING!! The molten plastic is very hot, as Dave says, so be aware that as it is poured it WILL melt through certain materials, including polystyrene foam. Some people suggest applying sealing coats of PVA first and allowing them to dry thoroughly before pouring the molten plastic, but I don't know whether that would be effective. If you are unsure, try melting just a few beads and pouring them onto a test piece first, rather than risk ruining your hard work! Those small foil cups that mince pies etc sit in are ideal for melting small quantities. Hold the foil cup with a pair of pliers while heating and pouring. I truly admire your great layout, Dave.
+renard801 Thank you Renard , and thats a good tip re the mince pie cups , yes a very hot product , I did have mune sealed with plaster of Paris , then PVA , but must be sealed , and be careful where you put the pan , I put mine down on the carpet , so might we say there is a shape of the moon in black on the carpet ....Dave
I bought a bag of this about a year ago but never got round to using it on any scenery until now. I got it for wargaming scenery but wasn't quite sure of how to go about using it. Thanks for showing!
G'day from Australia...I tried that kind of water and made a real mess , unlike yours..I ended up having to re lift it and used the pour in type from the bottle...a much better outcome. Good to see a much better modeller having a nice result with the pellets...Very much like all your vids...helped me a lot with Dynamis usage especially...Cheers to you Rod...
By 'blocks' I mean isolated power sections to assure smooth full power to the totall length of the rails. I use Digitrax here in the States and they recommend a maximum length of 50 feet for a block. Each block has it's own power source with power leads at 6 - 10 foot intervals for power distribution purposes. So, for instance, my old HO had about 100 total feet of length and I used 2, 5 amp transformers. One controlling & one a 'booster.' Maybe, if your using 220 volt power it's different
i got some of that scenic water and i tried it out today i have just finished its still setting its great stuff worked so well thanks for recommending it to us cheers Albert
A lot to answer there, thanks for your kind comment , I started just 5 years ago and with DCC from the start , I use the dynamis for controlling the trains, and have about 4 x12 volts transformers supplying to all the lights, I use the auxiliary on my controller for the points , but only have about 8 which are powered , not sure what you mean by Blocks for the rails ?....Dave
G'day Dave,, Depending on weather , maybe overnight I've found.. One good thing about it is it works into awkward spots easily by itself... Cheers Rod..
Perfect demo. Took your advice and the ditch around my motte and bailey castle looks cool. Cannot unfortunately say the same thing about the pan... Oh well ...
+David Raedeker Well its a bit hot when you pour it LOL ..got to wait for it to cool ...but yes a good method of adding water to a layout ..cheers Dave
Thanks Dave, might give it a try on my current layout as I have a beach scene to complete, never quite looks the same if it is flat water. That acrylic gel does look good but takes ages to harden and as my water is right at the edge of the baseboard I needed something that will set quickly, keep my fingers crossed.
The secret I think is that you must pour it it whilst still very hot , and as you will have found it sets very quickly , so if you try to smooth it out it can cause problems , one thing I was told later was to have a hot hair dryer blowing on to it whilst laying it so you can get ripples etc.
Not tried it , but it does set very quickly , have been told the best way would be to use a Hot hair dryer blowing on to it so you can get the wave effect and helps keep it liquified
thanks dave, do you get the same effect with a pan of lentils lol, truely though amazing stuff that nice to see how easy it is to use when i get to putting my houses etc on my layout i mite use some of this for puddles etc in streets , thanks for showing us intresting vid, cheers dave .... hugh
This has been around for quite a while, but there are some problems. First, it will scratch over time. Dust and debris gets on the surface and will scratch it. To get rid of these scratches, use a heat gun to heat the surface so it will flow and cover the scratches. Now this causes the second problem, that being when you heat the surface up foliage burns and plastic bridges melt. So caution is the word. Be careful. The next problem is that the "water" will get a slight yellow haze in it after a period of time (usually from 6 to 12 months). No help here for that. Also, you will have to dispose of the original pan used for heating because you will never get all of the remaining "water" out of it. This is not perfect, but it does work.
Very nice Dave. It looks very good. Hattons does not sell it for less? Good suggestion you spoke of not using the best kitchen pans my mother would KILL me if I did that lol.
Just wondering if you boiled it too much and got a bit of burn effect, mine came out O K , you have painted your base the colour of water first I take it
Glad it worked for you Albert , not sure what went wrong with the chap whos turned brown , think it could have been overcooked ..divine intervention ?? Dave
cool, was waiting fr the warning about using our other halfs best pans....you've all been warned!! Any how, just the thing for when i get on to the canal bit on my layout. Good stuff cheers.
Thanks, Dave. Is your Dynamis your only power source? Seems like you are able to run several locos, with sound on a good size layout. Or do you have an added power source. I believe the Dynamis is 2.5amps. How many locos can you operate at the same time in motion? I like using a bus when possible as it is most efficient.
G'day again David....Thanks for the tip....I'm abut to build a 'proper' BNSF layout on a 'proper' baseboard in the spare room... rather tham my original effort on an old table tennis table...starting Christmas ish... I plan on having a creek scene in it so I'll re try with the pelleted water ...I love your vids.. realy helped me with Dynamis usage to start with... Only a little bit jealous of your great layout..How long to build ? Cheers from Tasmania, Australia... Rod..
Dave, the quality of your layout, your taping and your presentation are excellent. How long have you been working on your layout? Did you start with DC and then convert to DCC? Could you please share some information (maybe even a video) on your layout's power, such as how many blocks are you using for your rails, how many transformers do you use to power all your lights for the houses and other accessories and do you use DCC for your turnouts?
Thanks for this Dave, not seen that product in use before, I have used that acrylic gel up to now but it takes a lot of working to make it look right, this looks good if you want flat water, how easy is it to work into waves?
The Dynamis is my one main controller , I do have the Elite which I use to programme with, but mainline , I can run about 12 Loco`s at one time with the Dynamis and can locate a lot more , not sure now but think it is about 100 some one will probably put me right , the out put is 15volts
I have always been interested in how water is put on railway models(other things too) and now I know.I like the way you explained and demonstrated this and how you created the effect you wanted..very cool:and I like the beautiful moss on the bank as well:the little touches that make the broader picture. Just a few things please Dave.Does it have a jelly-like,sticky feel? And..how long does it last in the spot it has been put? A super clip that brims with information:including using the right pan:or else:) Thumbs up from here.
+myworldyourmusic11 Hi Tuk when you use this it is solid in less than 5 minutes , just like glass ....I have since used the woodland scenics liquid water which is as you say jelly like ...this is good but can be dangerous , did have a couple of burns on the carpet when I put the pan down , and if you happen to put your finger in the liquid ..OUCH ...That Burns ...dave
Ok..so take a scenario Dave.Let's say that you want to move the lake.You have a jelly substance to move as well; right? Or do you have to make a fresh lake? And how long does it last in one place? I have no intention of putting my hand in the liquid Dave:) Famous last words.
+myworldyourmusic11 That lake as you will have seen is still in place , BUT i have since used the Liquid water to top it up , and its been re designed when I added the double Bridge ...with that glass like EZee you need a hammer and chisel to lift it , it sets solid as I said ...but it could be there forever if no change needed ...Right its telly time ..even if it is only Midsummer Murders ...got to keep Deb quite ...dave
Hi Dave i somehow missed seeing this video of yours until now. I did something similar using another make of crystalls which were cheaper The results were not as effective as you have achieved.I guess you get what you pay for!
Interesting - I always wondered how eee-zee water worked. Now I know. I wondered if it is possible to use a hair dryer as it is setting to make ripple effects?
Ya that does look good ,,,, (You don't want to be spilling that ) how did you seal off the area surely thats a problem ,,,, and how many bags did that take ....
***** I had sealed with PVA, and of course it sets that quick it seals itself , and as you say dont spill any ..I used a bag and a half on that , but for a small area half a bag would be enough
***** It might take more tham PVA to seal between some on my joinery gaps,,,, A bag and a half ,,, I was expecting you to say 4 or 5,,, it didn't look that big in your hand ,,,,, Fascinating
***** Think that previously I had tried with a couple of coats of clear Gloss with pva underneath then painted blue , so that would also have sealed it , like I say it sets very fast so even to ripple it you have to be careful ...Dave
It dries yellow or amber. I am making an alpine lake with various shades of blue/green and maybe 3/4" deep on the deep section and it when it cooled it looks yellow/amber. I guess I made my quarry too deep for E-Z water to look like water. Any suggestions on how to rectify? Should I just repaint a new bed with darker colors on the old E-Z water?
Do you pour it while it's hot? Or let it cool a couple mins? I'd be worried pouring hot liquid onto my work haha. Thanks for this video, I'm new to all this and am deciding between this product and the woodland scenics Water Effects in the bottle
+Jaejoong Kim you have to pour it hot , so needs to be a good surface that you are pouring on to , but be careful , I put the pan down on the floor and burnt the carpet , think now that maybe the Woodland Scenics Water is better to use , but its a bit expensive , so make sure the area is watertight (good coat of PVA) as it will soak in ...Dave
***** thanks for the fast reply. I think I will start with the one in the bottle since it's my first time making a set I want to to be relatively easy. Plus I would have to find a cheap pan or else mum won't be happy haha. I will make sure to use PVA first, thanks for the tip :)
hi. great video. since I bought a bag last night I have a question. have you experimented with tinting it? I'd like to get a swamp looking effect with mine but not sure if mixing paint will affect the final result.
danny langdon Not sure but if you do the brown paint for the base it should give a brownish effect as the water is clear ...maybe try on a very small amount first ...Dave
***** hi David the stuff ought to arrive tomorrow so il have a play over the weekend and let you know. I would like to make my miniatures look like they're wading through a knee deep swamp so the water will be raised in a cylinder from the base going vertically, this means you'll be able to see into the water from the side meaning that it kind of has to be the water itself that has to be murky and unclear. We'll see! Thanks for getting back to me. As soon as I have worked out how to do this daft idea and made it look good il to get a video made myself and link you in.
Dave I used the ez water to try an make 2 pools and a waterfall but due to maybe over heating the pellets and doing 2 pours the water has gone very yellow. Is there anything I can do to try and salvage it ? Thanks
Well I have not had that problem ..I take it you that its all laid now ...if you had any left over you could go over it again ..but the otheer alternative is to paint it with a blue water paint then maybe go over with a clear gloss paint ...can be effective i have used gloss with maybe 3 coats allowing each one to dry before the next ..you can get a good water like shine using it ...Cheers dave
***** It is now , no dont use a good pan , not a lot they can be used for after ...they will clean to near good enough but would not want to boil anything in it afterwards ...
That's the first time I've seen that excellent product demonstrated Dave, and you did a superb job that was easy to follow. The warning about not using the wife's best pan....was invaluable, and will no doubt save quite a few marriages.....Bob

Excellent example to show how to make it. Well done Dave!
I bought a bag of this about a year ago but never got round to using it on any scenery until now. I got it for wargaming scenery but wasn't quite sure of how to go about using it. Thanks for showing!
Its good , but be quick laying it as it sets hard very quickly ...Cheers dAve

ha ha ha good one i like that cheers Albert
i got some of that scenic water and i tried it out today i have just finished its still setting its great stuff worked so well thanks for recommending it to us cheers Albert
I used eazy water on my layout about 10 years ago, great stuff, had many people comment on how real it looks!
+Mark Herbert Yes its a good product ......Dave
Beautiful model David, great job!
go dave a great modeler and not to bad cooking ether
Dont have a problem , but if you look at live railway they are rarely straight , thanks for the comment
good comeback Dave your layout is superb i love it
A lot to answer there, thanks for your kind comment , I started just 5 years ago and with DCC from the start , I use the dynamis for controlling the trains, and have about 4 x12 volts transformers supplying to all the lights, I use the auxiliary on my controller for the points , but only have about 8 which are powered , not sure what you mean by Blocks for the rails ?....Dave
wow i did not know how quick i set, cheers mate
Do you think modelers has a God complex? you know, build there own world and watch over it. :D Food for thought :D
G'day Dave,, Depending on weather , maybe overnight I've found.. One good thing about it is it works into awkward spots easily by itself... Cheers Rod..
Perfect demo. Took your advice and the ditch around my motte and bailey castle looks cool. Cannot unfortunately say the same thing about the pan... Oh well ...
Glad I could help!...as for the Pan ..well we all have to face the music sometime ...Cheers Dave
Cool that is the first time for me to see that done.
+David Raedeker Well its a bit hot when you pour it LOL ..got to wait for it to cool ...but yes a good method of adding water to a layout ..cheers Dave

Thanks that was very usefull
great stuff.
I hope I can buy it in Holland.
I suppose Dave that us train lovers do live in a fantacy world of sorts but i really dont think that God has anything to do with it. cheers mate
No problem ...Dave
Very good layout AAA
Thank you very much ...Dave
Yummy sauce! :) But the result is absolut fascinating, never seen! Thank you! =)
Not sure if hattons have it Danny , I bought this from ny local shop, its sold by gaugemasters, any that sell woodland scenics probably stock it.
The secret I think is that you must pour it it whilst still very hot , and as you will have found it sets very quickly , so if you try to smooth it out it can cause problems , one thing I was told later was to have a hot hair dryer blowing on to it whilst laying it so you can get ripples etc.

I like your sence of humour mate cheers
It worked well , bet you can get it on the internet ..Cheers Dave
Yes it spreads a lot better Rod , ,just takes time to set but depending on the temperature ....Dave
thanks dave, do you get the same effect with a pan of lentils lol, truely though amazing stuff that nice to see how easy it is to use when i get to putting my houses etc on my layout i mite use some of this for puddles etc in streets , thanks for showing us intresting vid, cheers dave .... hugh

Got to agree with you on that , my latest I have used th4 realistic water from Woodland scenics
It does seem to work well as I tried it good product for me .. cheers dave
Thanks for your compliment , the Bridge is in Kit form from Hornby
they build a make believe world that they would like to live in
That turned out fine.
David Raedeker it’s not a bad product David , But careful where you sit the pan down , a few burn marks .. cheers Dave
Very nice Dave. It looks very good. Hattons does not sell it for less? Good suggestion you spoke of not using the best kitchen pans my mother would KILL me if I did that lol.
Thanks for the extra tips Dave :-)
Just wondering if you boiled it too much and got a bit of burn effect, mine came out O K , you have painted your base the colour of water first I take it
It dries clear , so whatever colour you want paint the base in that colour
so cool
Be careful if you use thee as very hot ...Cheers Dave
looks fantastic!!! do u layer it up? i might buy a bag for a pond or something
I let it boil until everything was melted and then poured it right away, and yeah I painted the area.
Cheers this helped
Glad you found it helping ...dont burn yourself though ...gets very hot ...cheers dAve
Thank you also ..
Thanks for sharing!
Glad it worked for you Albert , not sure what went wrong with the chap whos turned brown , think it could have been overcooked ..divine intervention ?? Dave

yum yum. but the yachts should pass each other on starboard not port
You can use one but be carful as it can ripple very quickly and set s very quickley

GOT YOU NOW , YES I USE DROPPERS , ABOUT EVERY 10 FT. DOWN TO A BUS LINE
Well when a train comes off the track ..I do tend to say ...God almighty ..LOL
Cheers dave
I use an empty sardine can with a soldered on handle. Works well.
Good idea
I always wondered if that stuff was any good I will be ordering some now
No problem , glad to help
does the water dry the same depth as you have poured it? because the thicker stuff woodland scenics does evaporates to nothing!
@howarth004 true :) nice video m8 ::) nice and clear
Just did , thanks , most enjoyable
Thanks for this Dave, not seen that product in use before, I have used that acrylic gel up to now but it takes a lot of working to make it look right, this looks good if you want flat water, how easy is it to work into waves?
What colour does it dry because it looks brown, does it dry brown or clear?

Look forward to seeing your progess
How did you get rid of the yellow tinge? I'm having that problem with mine after it set up.
hello dave do u have to paint underneeth it?
Good an answer an any Albert ...

£9 a bag !!!!!!!!!!!!!!? omg down here in mainland from a sho neer me its only around £7.80
