UV Resin 17ml - Water Effect

Green Stuff World UV resin for water effects, 17 ml

A clear resin that cures once it is lit with an ultraviolet lamp. It is intended for creating water surfaces, puddles, wet tracks and clear fills in dioramas. Compared with two-part resins it has one fundamental advantage: it does not cure on its own, so you have unlimited time to adjust the shape and you trigger the curing only at the moment when the surface is exactly as you want it.

Use

It is applied in thin layers, cured one after another. A thin layer is lit all the way through and does not stay tacky below the surface. It suits puddles on a road, wet tire tracks, small bodies of water and fills where you need a clear, glossy material. The 17 ml volume suits small areas and trying the technique out.

Safety and tips

Work in a well-ventilated room and in gloves; uncured resin irritates the skin. First make a watertight bottom in the container, or the resin will run out. Add color very carefully, because a heavily tinted layer lets less light through and cures less well. The last layer can be rippled with a point just before it is lit, which gives movement to the surface.

Who it is for

• Builders of dioramas with water
• Modelers who make puddles and wet tracks
• Those who want a quick result without mixing components
• Anyone who has an ultraviolet lamp to hand

Without a source of ultraviolet light the resin will not cure. Store out of direct sunlight and out of the reach of children.
