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?

12'x24" is a big space. 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.

Only make thin pours, prehaps 1/8" or less, otherwise cracking becomes a issue.

That should have read 12" X 24" not twelve feet.

You can go back and edit your original post if you wish.

Make ABSOLUTELY sure everything is sealed up.  Shallow pours, as mentioned, is also important.
