I made a guide on how to make rivers that can conform to any surface placed beneath them. Also I demonstrate how shower caulk can be used for water effects. Check it out below:

Neat idea, thanks for sharing it. |

That came out great! I like the water effect with the plastic bag trick. Since it takes so long to dry, I wonder if you could go over it after a few hours to pull more of it up to get the effects of shallow rapids? How flat do the edges sit after all is dried? I have tried this one time before and the edges started to curl up and towards the middle of the river. I'm sure I was doing something wrong or using the wrong product. Matthew |

I'm sure you could continue to work with the caulk to make some impressive waves, I'll have to give that a go sometime. It lays pretty flat, I find the key to dealing with caulk is to make sure all edges are pinned down until it drys. I also reinforced the back of the river with duct tape to help fight against warping. Placing larger stones at intervals along the river also helped guard against warping. |
