ezdays 2010 EOY challenge

Hey, that looks all right! I'm surprised you could not find epoxy resin (such as envirotex) at Hobby lobby. I've used clear epoxy resin from HD before, from a shelf near where they put bondo. I've also used an epoxy resin used for making microscope slides (swiped from my former university ) ANd you are definitely correct - it has a shelf life. I've had it go both ways - but usually after awhile it won't harden completely.

I went to the Hobby Lobby on Bell Rd. and 75th Ave. and they had resin but it was a brownish color, HD had some in a quart can but they told me it dried a "light greenish color" and since it was made by Bondo, I backed off thinking it would be opaque. The epoxy worked well enough, I bought the 60 minute drying stuff so it's still a bit tacky after about seven hours. I used three-quarters of both tubes and still have some left over for touch-up. I even had to search for that until I found it at Ace.

BTW, it's not a really big area since this is N scale. The whole pond water area measures 7" x 4"
