- The Water Kit includes everything needed to create a water area 28-square inches when poured 1/8-inch thick. This will make a river 1-inch wide x 28-inches long x 1/8-inch deep or a pond 6-inches diameter x 1/8-inch deep. The instructions detail how to model a water area on a ReadyGrass Vinyl Mat. 1. Draw outline of water area with a pencil (Fig. 1). 2. Using the Foam Brush, wet inside marked area with water (Fig. 2). 3. Remove turf with Scraper (Fig. 3). Save excess turf to use as landscape material, if desired. 4. Run a continuous bead of Scenic Glue™ (S190) or white glue around perimeter of water area to prevent Realistic Water seeping into landscape. Let dry completely. 5. Paint water area with Water Undercoat (Fig. 4). Let dry thoroughly. TIP! To model a shoreline, paint center of water area only. Dip Brush in water and spread wet paint to edges. Lighter shade of paint models shallow water and darker shade models deep. Let Water Undercoat dry completely before pouring Realistic Water. 6. Pour Realistic Water* slowly in center of water area. Pour no deeper than 1/8”. Brush out slowly to avoid bubbles (Fig. 5) or pull to edges with a craft stick. Dry until glass clear (drying times vary with heat and humidity, min. 24 hours). Do not force dry with heat or apply a top sealer. Repeat, if desired. *When pouring Realistic Water on a surface other than ReadyGrass Vinyl Mat, apply a heavy coat of Water Undercoat and test on a small area. Let dry completely. If absorption occurs, apply another coat of Water Undercoat.
