Model Railroading > River WaterDate: 10/21/16 08:56 River Water Author: SD608708 I'm getting ready to pour some liquid water or Evirotex in a 12'X24" river bed and I have a couple of questions.
1. How many bottles will I need to cover a 12"X24" area? 2. How thick should I pour the liquid water to get a nice looking river? Paul B Canton, GA Edited 1 time(s).

If you make the pour only a 1/4" thick, you will need 864 cubic inches, or 479 fluid ounces, or 3.74 gallons of the material for your river water. That's if you have zero waste.

Ted Curphey Ontario, OR Date: 10/21/16 17:46 Re: River Water Author: SD608708 That should have read 12" X 24" not twelve feet.
