How to Use Aqua Magic

1. Color and seal the base as required with paint
2. Apply a sealing coat of Aqua Magic and allow to dry (~24 hours)
3. Pour additional Aqua Magic to a depth of up to 3mm, ensuring a level surface
4. Texture the surface as it dries to create waves or ripples
5. Allow 2-3 days between adding additional layers for depth

Note: Aqua Magic is designed for water effects where the surface is exposed to air for drying. For very deep water or enclosed applications (e.g., drinks in glasses, goldfish bowls), use Solid Water or Scenic Water instead.

Professional Tips

• Base Paint Selection: Enamel paints work best as a base. Always test drying characteristics beforehand
• Adding Depth: Allow 2-3 days between additional layers of Aqua Magic
• Creating Waves: Once fully dry, add wave effects using Making Waves product
