Does anyone have any envirotex that they can let me have, I want to try it but I dont wont to spend the money if it doesnt look good.  Any help would be great.  josh

Josh, What do you want to try it on? All it really is good for is base work for waterfowl and fish. I wouldn't recommend glossing any fish with it. It seem's to take to much of the scale detail away.

It works reallly well for water scenes and shallow pools. You can find it at hobby lobby, micheal's, of jo-ann's

So does this mean that it wouldn't be any good for ice or icecicles?-Susan

For icycles, go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a sheet of crackled glass looking stuff that goes over flourescent lights (someone have the name of it??) Cut strips and use a heat gun the soften it. Pull, stretch, and twist for the look you want. Also works for splashes.

Icicles are easy to make. There are many ways but one quick cheap way is to take cling wrap,or other thin plasic.cut the plastic into strips of different lengths and widths.Strech and twist the ends. Twist somewhat tight on one end and looseer on the other end. Mix up some envirotex or scenery resin. Start on top and sloooowly dribble on to the plastic strips. The wrinkles in the plastic will catch some of the resin and give you a nice simple icicle. You can make a simple water fall by streching and layering cling wrap over an object and adding resin over it. The plastic should be wricked and twisted to give you the look of water movement. Scenery resin works better than envirotex because of it's faster kick time.
