View · Overview

Product overview

AK8043 is a 375 ml set for water features that require a substantial quantity of clear casting material. The box divides this into 250 ml of resin and 125 ml of hardener, with the parts combined at a 2:1 ratio. After mixing, pour the epoxy into the prepared diorama or vignette and use 24 hours as AK’s stated drying reference; the actual time shifts with the quantity poured and the room temperature.

  • Two syringes and printed instructions are included
  • AK describes the formulation as low-odour and completely transparent
  • AK states that the material neither shrinks nor leaves bubbles
  • Thinning is permitted, but AK names no thinning medium

Notes · Q & A

What is the difference between texture pastes, water effects and resin waters?

Texture pastes are spreadable acrylic products for building ground, snow and similar surfaces in thin or thick layers. Acrylic water effects are self-levelling liquids, while resin waters are two-part epoxies that require resin and hardener to be mixed at a 2:1 ratio.

How thick a layer can I apply?

Ground and snow pastes may be applied in thin or thick layers; crackle textures need a thin layer, with its thickness affecting the crack size. Keep Still Water to 1–2 mm per layer and Puddles to no more than 3 mm, building greater depth through repeated layers.

How long do these textures take to dry?

AK quotes 24 hours for ground textures and resin water, and 2–4 hours for Snow Sprinkles, with drying affected by the amount applied and the ambient temperature. Crackle textures have no stated time, although AK says a hairdryer can speed the process.

Can I thin these products, and what should I use?

The acrylic textures can be diluted with water or acrylic thinner to improve their flow. Two-part resin waters are not thinned with water; mix the resin and hardener at the stated 2:1 ratio.

Can I paint or add pigments after the texture has dried?

The suitable method depends on the product. Still Water can be tinted with acrylic paint, while dry corrosion and ground textures can take pigments to adjust their colour and surface variation.
