GSW offers a brand new alternative for artists and modellers seeking to create water effects with this Ultraviolet Resin.
A one-step gel with crystal transparency, squeeze this product straight from the bottle onto your diorama or miniature base to create beautiful replicas of the sea, rivers, lakes, ponds or puddles. It has a multitude of advantages over other traditional ways of creating water effects:
Ultrafast drying gel. This product can be combined with a UV Torch to dry in 2-4 minutes. On a sunny day, the gel has a drying time of 5-10 minutes. On a cloudy day, 20-40 minutes.
Can be dyed. The UV Resin can be mixed with any of our Intensity or DYE inks to dye the gel with only a few drops, allowing to create different types of water, such as bogged swamps or radioactive lakes!
IMPORTANT! If you want to dye the UV resin with any GSW CANDY inks it should be applied when the resin is fully cured.
Doesn't shrink. The UV Resin doesn't shrink like other water replicating materials. The quantity of resin used is the quantity of resin you get when fully dried.
Multilayer friendly. In case you want to create the effect of submerging something in water, multiple layers can be placed on top of each other without leaving layer marks.
Can be cut, polished and worked easily. The resin is easy to manipulate and can be shaped and carved however you want!
Low smell and toxicity compared to more traditional methods.
Contains: 100ml
* When the resin is in its non-solid state you can use a heat gun or a kitchen lighter to heat the resin and force out any air bubbles that may have gotten caught in it.
* Keep in mind that the resin will remain in its gel state indefinitely until a source of natural light or ultraviolet light comes into contact with it.
* Do not expose the inside of the bottle to natural light, otherwise the gel could start a reaction and crystallize.
