Two things make the Water-Drops® in the water-shaping indispensable: their easy processing and the ability to make by heating can later be details such as waves or rapids. As a product family, there is the Water-Drops® in three versions: The Water- Drops® are transparent ideal to make crystal clear lakes, rivers and streams.

In particular, the opportunity to melt the water after curing again (for example, with a strong hairdryer), opens the modeller up many possibilities. So you are able to model waves or remove scratches from the water surface later. The Water-Drops® are offered in the variants transparent (ref. 60855) and color (ref. 60856).

Creating the perfect body of water in just a few steps

The Water-Drops® are melted in the oven in a heat-resistant container such as a jam jar. After the melting process, the Water-Drops® have a honey-like consistency for approx. 3 minutes. They can now be poured into the prepared stream or lakebed. Since the Water-Drops® are processed hot, you should definitely wear gloves.
A major advantage of the Water-Drops® is that changes can even be made to the water surface itself after hardening. Due to the low melting point of the Water-Drops®, the material can be melted and reworked with a hairdryer. By using a heat gun, the entire Water-Drops® body of water can even be liquefied again. Consequently, this product is ideal for subsequently designing waves or rapids.
However, there are a few important things to keep in mind when using the Water-Drops®.
To ensure that the plasticiser is completely merged with the Water-Drops®, it’s necessary to stir the melted Water-Drops® very well with a metallic object such as a screwdriver or an old spoon. In addition, the Water-Drops® should not be heated in the microwave. Due to the hot processing, they are also only suitable for adult hobbyists.

This is how you create the perfect lake

First of all, the Water-Drops® are melted in the oven and poured into the prepared lakebed.
After the lake has cooled down, you can also apply Waves & Billows to the surface with a putty knife and mould the mixture.
The shore area is then decorated. The Grass Tufts are ideally suited to this. To attach the Grass Tufts, it’s best to use tweezers.
