I need some help with river color.

Poly fiber is the stuff they use to fill up quilts, pillows and stuffed animals. You can buy it, and gloss medium at Wal Mart back in the craft department. The brand of medium I get is called “Mod Podge”, which is available in gloss and matte flavors. The matte is good for bonding ground foam and making trees.

Note that I started with a flat surface for my river bed. The gloss medium is applied as a coat of paint, not poured in to create a deep puddle. I find this gives the best results. Since you’re replicating a clear stream, your results may vary. You may want to use Enviortex or some other pourable medium.

For under $10 you’ll have enough material to make Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls!
