if you look in the painting section and the sticky you will find links to loads of discusions on this I have not used it but believe you have to do it in lots of thin layers.

That\'s what I would suggest... most of these products can only handle about 1/8\" or 3mm layers at a time or else they don\'t fully dry on the inside. Annoying, but some people still prefer this stuff to two-part epoxy/resin water effects.

Woodland Scenic water effects does require small amounts of the liquid to be used at any one time. As said approximatley 1/8th of an inch per session.
Allow 24 hours minimum to dry on a clean and flat surface. (Longer if it\'s rainy).
Also please remember that Cork and Cork Tiles suck up Water Effects like theres no tomorrow.

I find it easiest to apply dripped in carefully via a Coffee stirrer stick. (Bar Stucks?)

If you\'ve put it on thick it will dry clear, eventually, I\'ve made some thickish wave shapes with the thickest parts taking 7-14 days to go clear
just be patient it all goes clear eventually

you can gently warm it i believe. put is somewhere warm and dry, like the airing cupbpard
