View · Overview

Product overview

AK8019 is a fine, flat acrylic texture for beach scenes, with Normandy and the Pacific named by AK as reference settings. The material can be laid in thin or thick layers, allowing the depth of the groundwork to be set for the particular shoreline area being modelled. Its role is to create the underlying beach surface across dioramas and vignettes, ready for the surrounding scene to be built around it.

  • Contents: 250 ml
  • Water or an acrylic thinner may be used to improve flow
  • AK states that this beach texture is non-toxic
  • Sold as a single-pack product

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.
