How To Make Your Own Cheap Water Effects Better Than The Shops

Like guys? I'm Luke at Luke's ApS. In this video I will show you how to

make

a super inexpensive

water

effect that is super simple to use and quick drying. It's just all BOC bars. It's that easy. Your mom could do it. The guy is so Wasser

effects

you know for the last two years I've been trying to get

water

effects

and

make

it simple and easy and the best I can with a minimal budget. Okay, yeah, I know resins are expensive, but they are. By far the best results, especially if you're doing a deep pair where you're at Brock's to show underneath and everything else, but let the waves and splashes and ripples there's nothing that I know of physically on the market.

I have always seen how to use gel mediums to create modge podge waves. There are a lot of videos that show you how to do that kind of thing because it's what's accessible, it's what dries and rinses, it's what people know now. There are problems with them. It's when you start layering white, you can't see what it's going to look like when it's dry, so I set out well two years ago and over the last 12 months to find a product that was already clear, quick-drying and that would I could give it shape. and do what you want with it.

I found the perfect product. The problem is that you can't buy it without a prescription, which for me is a problem because obviously I want to test and manufacture a product and I need samples that companies don't need. Listen to someone as small as me, so I've had to look into it more and more. Now when I get my water effects out I'll probably have to go to Kickstarter because I'll need around a hundred thousand quid. put it to make it a proper product, okay, but that product will be much

better

than the products that I am going to show you how to make, but this product that I want to share is

better

than most of the things on the market anyway and it is

cheap

and easy to make and the product I will introduce later will be better so once you like it it should hold up, hopefully you know, make it simpler and easier and it will be about the same price anyway. and i want more convenient but the polymer you need is found in clearfix now clearfix is ​​not silicon before someone says its just silicon you are wrong this is a hybrid polymer of ms polymer there are many different trade names for everything what does it mean.

It's a certain plastic, acrylic and rubber and all kinds mixed together to create a silicon-like product, but it's not silicon. The benefits are that you can paint it. It is UV stable. It is transparent like glass. Please note that this tube is not transparent. Look how clear. You see it in the tube, so once it comes out of the tube, when we mix it, it looks great. Now there are a couple different ones on the market, but I've tried God knows how many, like thirty of them, the reason why Now we have this and now we have it in stock because it's the best and clearest one I can find guys, so which if you really want to help me I will spend three hundred pounds on this research so it would be great if you could buy it from us because it will help you get some money back but it will also help support the channel and everything else but we have it in stock below.

Now I am working with the company that produces

cheap

super glues and all kinds for you too, okay so this is what I prefer, our evolved ones are the ones I have tried, so if you can't get it, you can't get it from us below , but if you are looking for ms polymers. That'll be fine guys, so let's break this down, let's show you how you need to thin it out, you can, inks and all kinds of stuff, let's get to work guys, we've been chatting for too long, so we'll see in a second . Ok, unscrew the cap and then cut off the nozzle.

You can cut this pretty low because we won't be using it as a sealant. Then remove the cap and make sure to cut the bottle, leaving as much thread as possible. I cut it pretty low because I wasn't thinking about what we were doing, then I put a caulking gun on it and then you're ready to go right now, put some on a cop, this mixture I'll show you how. To make is the first layer. I use it as a pour layer, so you can mix it to a pourable consistency. It is very easy to do for proportions and mixtures.

All I suggest using is 99.9 percent isopropanol, you don't want to use anything. less than that because anything with water in it or too much water in it will turn the water effects white which you don't want so make sure you use 99.9% alcohol when you pour it into that cup for this mix make sure drink completely. cover it, just leave a little bits sticking out, okay, so it's smaller and less covered, the mixture can take a couple of minutes because it takes a while to absorb the ISO, but as soon as you let it sit there and if you you mix in circles, it absorbs suddenly, it just self-levels, it's okay, so keep mixing that round if it's still a little thick, it's okay to add more isopropanol, don't worry, you can't thin it with water that thin before you do it.

It causes some problems with drying or something, but you want it to like a decent thick paste that self-levels well, so as long as it does that it should work perfectly, you'll know if you've made a mistake because it will start to turn white. like in pure white, now I'm putting a couple of drops of ink again, in theory, instead of water based inks or acrylic based inks, but since it's only a small amount, it doesn't matter if it's quite a lot, then it would react with the mixture now, that's how easy it is to pour the cup.

Well, you can make it a little thinner than this. Just because I was putting ink on it, I'll air it with caution if you use it. it's completely clear, go crazy, dilute with isopropanol, okay, now spread this like it's rum toast, if you like high cholestoral, but just put this all over the model or anywhere you work and spread it, no. Worry about the lines and texture, but we'll fix that in a second, once you have it all spread out, it should look like this, which, to be fair, doesn't look that bad. Forget about the edges in this demo because obviously if you're working on a wall, a piece that you wouldn't really have an advantage on, the next step is this: we're going to put isopropanol on it now, the reason we put isopropanol on it again It's just to get rid of them. edges and all that area that we don't want, so you spray it on and then you just tap it down lightly to remove it all, plus it also puts some very nice delicate waves in the water and then it's just a matter of letting it dry in the course of about 1/2 hour, 45 minutes, if it's an hour thick, you've done it, if you've made it very thick, say about 4 or 5 mil thick, it might take about an hour, but it doesn't have to be thick, this mixture once dry will look like this.

Another reason I like these water effects is that the water doesn't tend to look very shiny like a satin finish if you want it to. very shiny just use a glossy varnish over the top when you're done now over the mix for splashes this is for splashes and delicate waves the same type of mix. I'm just mixing less on top, so I'll use a lot less. It only covers half of the mixture, so the reason I tell you that is so that when you go to mix

your

s, if you know a liquid version, submerge it completely, just leave a little bit sticking out in the middle if you want.

I'm making a splatter mix, it covers about half and then when you mix it won't be as fine. Now I'm also doing this clear because I don't want any kind of coloring on me, splatter type, to make it clear. water so to add this like before, place it in the area where you want it and obviously build it like you're pushing the rock or whatever obstacle you have in the water and for better splash tutorials I'm working on. In some other tutorials, as I learned more with it, I'll do a lot of videos, but all you have to do is leave it, leave it for 10 minutes and then start doing this with it, start manipulating it and as it starts to dry, it starts to remember and keep its shape, so keep hitting it at the top.

It's best to have a little bit of the mixture on the spatula too so it sticks really well to itself and as it dries it gets quite sticky and tacky, so keep touching it and it will start to take shape again the more you use this, the more you practice, with You will get better at using it and it will start to take shape then, so you should start to see each other. something like that if you wanted to do it more but bigger splashes and bigger thinking let it build up dry on top and we only have half an hour to wait before we start doing it again if you want to add a little bit like little splashy tales for the water just keep going hitting it while it dries a little bit, remove smaller sections, it's as simple as that now for big waves, this depends on taste because it depends on how big you want the waves at the moment, we have waves.

I tried using it straight from the container, but the problem is that it's too thick and quite difficult to handle, so I'm using the spray bottle just to put a small amount in so you can control the amount. you're actually putting it on and you've just added enough to take the edge off so it levels out semi-automatically, that's what you want, it gives you a little bit of time to work with it too so you can glue it on. down like this and you'll see what I mean, it has some flex, some flex as soon as you start playing with it, if you were to use it, it needs to not bend on itself while you use it.

I can see it's a natural fall, using it clean doesn't do that and it's a lot harder to sculpt, so what I like about adding that little bit is that it makes it a little more playable and so it makes that vibe come into effect now, yeah you want to make a small one, you can do it like this, but with me I just like to throw it in and create a big thick wave, if you want to build a massive wave, I would suggest Doing this in stages, probably make something this big, have a good two centimeters high, and then do it in two centimeter blocks and work like that and then over the course of a day you could build a huge wave which I will cover in another video. but as simple as that guys, just pour it into

your

space and then just pull it out, don't worry about mixing it with the water, but get the shape of the wave, get the look you want and then we'll do it.

Mix it with the water in a second, so as you can see, all I'm doing is the same as the splash effects. I'm really just waiting for it to spin and then keep hitting it, pushing it and pushing it away until I get the desired effect I want again, it might look a little better with a little more time but it gives you an idea of ​​what you're going to do now to mix this up, as you can see where I poured it, a simple spray with isopropanol. just a little bit, just a small amount and then just mix it with the tap like we did with the original, if you want it to be a little rougher, press it a little harder if you want it to be a little smoother, just smooth. like you want to soften anything and use isopropanol as a thinning agent which is exactly what's fine so to paint all I'm doing is using some white military paper paint and then what I'll do if I cut a dry brush stippling, if that's even a technique, it was a very stiff brush, so like a really cheap hog hair brush, I'll do it and if it's flat, it just makes it easier to control and I'll do a stippling. top I don't like the white water nature of these products and the more you put it on, the more you mess with it, it becomes semi-opaque anyway, it looks like it's clear, like it's in the pot in the container it comes with that kind of effect so it helps to mix it with the white water so do this to test guys what I'm trying to simulate here is just kind of the whiteness of the water like it's splashing but you guys I could cover that with more product to make it look like it's right under the water, so you get that kind of foam from the water underneath, which also looks good and when it's dry and finished, that's what they look like for the home.

Let's say this whole process for both took me about half an hour, so imagine how quick it is on a dashboard or whatever, it makes it a very quick process, it's not expensive and you can see what you're doing, which is the most important. Water effects occur when you can't see what you're doing, it's quite stressful. There's a simple and quick process like this that makes it so anyone can do it, even your mom could do it anyway guys, thanks for watching, thanks for tuning in. and I will leave you with the finale and if you want to buy this product it will really help me so check out the links below guys what do you think of a cheap water effect for massive clear waves or splashes in seconds?

Another good thing is that I've also used it in miniature to make swampy bases like that, well, it's zooming in, look. I've made some effects of Garen stuff that I'll show people after that in another video because loads of other things I can dowith him, which I will explain to you soon in that video. The kind of principle is that you don't need to tape the edges, so even making the water base is also simple, so it has a hundred and one uses and it's very easy to make. If you liked this video, please share and subscribe, and if you really want to help me especially for this video.

You can buy the product to do it yourself below, saving you from having to try to find it anywhere else, but it just helps me, makes me get something, and gives me money back for all the research I did. I have done it, but anyway guys, thank you very much it's a new year and there are a lot of very interesting cheap videos on how to make alternatives and cheaper alternative videos here that I will start making regularly. Alright, guys, thank you very much. We will see each other again in the next video love love love
