Troubleshooting
Air bubbles forming in the water resin
Pour the material slowly and consider using a hairdryer on a low setting to gently pop surface bubbles before they harden.
The water appears cloudy after drying
This often occurs if the material was applied too thickly or in an environment with high humidity. Ensure thin layers and controlled temperature.
Foliage shifting during application
Secure your foliage with a small amount of non-toxic hobby glue and allow it to fully set before pouring any liquid components.
