Hi All
Has anyone used this product for modelling water (acrylic glazing liquid). It is cheaper than most products out there. Any info would be great. Almost ready to pour my river and dont wana mess things up. Thanks

If it’s not something that is marketed specifically for use as water and someone else has tried it previously, I wouldn’t risk using it without a trial pour on a piece of scrap material first. I’ve never read anything on these forums about it.
Here’s a link to the manufacturer’s site that explains what acrylic glazing liquid is and how to use it. Note specifically where they say it should never be used in an application that will be more than 1/16 inch thick because it will never set.

If you want to try it, let us all know how it turns out.
Glaze is similar to matt/gloss medium, the main difference is in it’s drying time. This would be something you would “paint” on rather than “pour” on. You can build up several coats as long as each one is allowed to dry completely. Matt or Gloss medium is also inexpensive, dries quicker and harder. Neither will give you the depth that envirotex and other pourable "water products will, but if you do a good job of painting your “water” and just use the glaze or matt/gloss medium to put a shine on, it can be quite effective.
Okay fellas, thanks for the info.
