So, I've seen some bases where the water effects are freestanding. (Big example below.)
How do you do that? I've got water effects, but they're all liquid. How do I get them to set like that? And do you use special stuff so they won't melt later on?

I'm not sure about the water effects you have, but I'm sure the example you shown, they probably made a form, pored the water effect, let it set, then removed the form. Just like setting up concrete.
I'm assuming the water effect you have hardens after it sits for a while, or has a hardener that you mix in with it.
As for the melting afterwards, I believe they set like plastic, so they harden, and won't melt.

For deeper effects like that, the two-part water effects are what you should use. Stuff like the Woodland Scenics Water Effects are only good if you keep the layer about an 1/8" deep.

That's pretty much all I'll be doing.

I think also with the free standing water, you need to wet sand the sides with a very light grit sandpaper.... i could be wrong though
