    I'm done with CA glue

    :wave: Hey Clark, don't throw it out yet. If it can't be repaired cover it up. If it's in a corner or such cover it with vines, If it is a large glob put it in the freezer, it then becomes brittle and you can pick it off. Just relax and think a little first. Old saying, "Where there is a will...

    The Tide comes in to the Bay

    :wave: Hi Jodam, that's a great looking scene. Did you make the pour for the water all at once, that will cause it to dry very very slowly and sometimes causes cracks. It is recommended to make small pours and let it dry and then pour again till you get the depth you want. On the last pour you...
