Product Information
Full details
The Woodland Scenics Moss Green Water Tint (CW4521) is an essential tool for model railway enthusiasts and diorama builders who want to achieve professional-grade depth and realism in their artificial water features. Designed to simulate the look of mossy, natural ponds and lakes, this concentrated liquid allows for precise color control in your landscapes; however, users should note that because the tint is highly concentrated, it requires careful measurement to avoid over-saturating the water's appearance.

FAQs
Can I use this tint with other brands of resin?
While designed for Woodland Scenics products, it is generally compatible with most clear hobby resins, though a small test batch is recommended first.
Is this product water-soluble?
The tint is intended for use in water-based or resin-based water systems, but it is highly concentrated and not intended for use as a standard paint.
How long does a bottle last?
Because it is highly concentrated, a single 59.1 ml bottle can last for many dioramas, as only a few drops are typically needed per project.
Can I mix this with Woodland Scenics Blue Water Tint?
Yes, you can mix the Moss Green and Blue tints to create unique shades of teal or murky blue-green water.
Does this tint fade over time?
When used in high-quality resin or scenery mediums, the tint is designed to be durable, though it should be kept out of direct, intense sunlight to ensure the longest possible color life.
Troubleshooting
The water looks too dark or opaque.
Add more clear water medium to the mixture to dilute the pigment density.
Air bubbles formed while stirring in the tint.
Use a slow, folding motion when mixing rather than vigorous stirring, or let the mixture sit for a few minutes before pouring to allow bubbles to rise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your water feature surface is clean and dry. Add the tint drop by drop to your mixing cup of water medium, stirring slowly to avoid creating air bubbles. This product is highly compatible with most Woodland Scenics water system products. For care, keep the bottle cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the liquid from drying out or thickening. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigments.
