View · Overview
Product overview
AK8012 produces thin ice sheets that can be broken, carved and arranged as separate frozen fragments. The kit pairs 120 ml of Ice Resin with 30 ml of hardener at a 4:1 ratio, plus a separate 17 ml Ice Surfacer for adding a frosted surface. Pour the resin about 1–2 mm thick; the hardened sheet can then be broken or carved into pieces. AK gives around 24 hours for the resin to become harder, with the actual timing dependent on the poured volume and ambient temperature.
- Mix slowly with a spatula or another tool to limit trapped air bubbles
- Two latex-free measuring syringes are included
- Before full hardening, texture can be worked with a tool or toothbrush
- Clean used tools with IPA, methylated spirit or acetone
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.
