this year no silver paper to imitate a lake in your Christmas Nativity Scene! In this new Feroca tutorial we show you all our tricks to make a stream, pond, river, well or whatever you have in mind that carries water, in a practical and simple way by the hand of one of our experts.
But not only can you use it in nativity scenes, this step by step guide will also be useful for dioramas, models, model making, etc.
Epoxy putty Epofer EX610-A + E610-B bicomponent of Feroca. Its working time is half an hour and curing time is 6-8 hours at a standard temperature of 20-24 degrees(It depends on the volume you do, the more putty the more heat it generates and the sooner it will cure).
Ideal for thin coats like the one on this lake. Working time between 25 and 60 minutes and curing time 24 hours (In hot weather is faster).
Alcohol based pigments that work very well for coloring Epoxies.
Ultra fast, high density glue that will prevent glue leaks on your piece. Perfect for creating a never-before-seen Bethlehem lake, as it is capable of bonding various materials such as: glass, metals, ceramics, leather, wood, rubber and some plastics.
To dilute and to be able to mix better.
Gloves, depressant, brushes, mask and other materials to facilitate the realization of this pond and to protect our security.
And do not forget the sand or soil, grass, paint and figures to make an impressive lake.
You can use water instead, but we do not recommend it, since the wood will absorb it and may suffer widening, cracking, etc.
To give it a more realistic look we are going to give it the texture of earth. How? Read on.
You can play with lighter or darker colors to give more depth and luminosity.
To get it right, we recommend you to always do round quantities . For our lake we used 150gr of A and 90gr of part B.
If you make a larger surface, you will have to use the Translux D151.
If your resin is very dense, preheat it a little in a bain-marie for 15-20 minutes to temper it.
To remove the remaining bubbles, with the help of a kitchen torch, make quick strokes (with some distance) to explode the bubbles.
You can let your imagination fly and add submerged animals, to do this you only have to put a drop of cyano glue where you are going to place the figures to adhere them and, later, to pour the resin.
Even decorate with bridges, washerwoman, swans, whatever you can think of.
We put at your fingertips top quality materials to realize what you have devised in your mind and get impressive results.
