The method is to streak lines on a sheet of glass and use several layers as required then peel it off. I’ve used it several times and it looks the part. This is also a method for puddles, ditches etc. give it a go I’m sure you will be quite surprised at the result.

Works well and is very durable.

I have used epoxy glue quite successfully in small puddles, almost dry ditches and bird baths on my HO layout. Use paint under the glue to get the colour and /or effect you want.

Like PVA., but is colourless to start and the single layer I’ve put down dried crystal clear. I use successive layers of dark paint, Glue, mid paint ( or white ‘rush’ ) topped with a final glue coat ~ Allow the final coat to ‘slide’ on a very shallow incline to get a ‘flow’ in the direction required and ‘tease’ with a cocktail stick during stages of ‘tacky-dry’ for ruffles and rippling as needed. Yet to try-it with this New finding…

I have used it to ‘fill’ a garden pond on my layout – a few thin layers allowed to dry a layer at a time.

Yes Mod Podge is an excellent product for a number of uses including using it as an adhesive and sealant. Perfect for gluing and sealing cardboard buildings too.
