Using Gallery Glass On Model RR Layout Winter Scene

Tim is having problems using Gallery Glass on his model railroad layout and would like feedback or ideas from others:

“I am trying to make a pond with ice for part of a winter skating scene on my RR layout. I had read about Gallery Glass and have had trouble using it. Straight out of the bottle was too thick and did not flatten out. I tried diluting the Gallery Glass with water and it shrunk too much. I am almost thinking about making a small batch of magic water to pour over the rough pond to smooth it out.

Has anyone else used Gallery Glass and do they have any tips for using Gallery Glass or any ideas on an easy way to make decent ice?”

    Forget all the “gimmicks” you see from various manufacturers. Simply pour on undiluted PVA woodworking glue, over a grey/green base color and hey presto you have very convincing water. (Note PVA dries crystal clear in warm environs but white if too cold).
