Has any used this method since the 70's, if so does it hold up, ie shrinking, yellowing etc ?

Might work it certainly looks wet when it's dried. Along with it sticks to most things including those rubber band tracks !
Failing that have a look at Vallejo Still Water or pooled gloss varnish .
The thing with the UHU is that is is thick in the first place so you can acheive some depth
Post what you find.

Brad,
Careful in applying Uhu as it has the hazard of having bubbles. I'd prefer using it to create cobwebs.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks all for posts, I think I heard Used it, maybe wrong, I normally use a resin, just thought for small stuff, it may work. We'll see, Richard like to see how that's done, if you time buddy. Cheers all.

I used it Brad for water in a bucket that was being poured out. Very effective

Steve thanks, not going doolally then, how did you stop it flowing down continually, or did you just lay it out and let it set?

Just poured out the tube what I needed and let it set. The key is not to play around with it and just go with what comes out of the tube. Good luck:thumb2:

Don't believe a word he says, he employs small silicon voles, highly trained to spin yarns and produce thin streams of silicon …

Brad, I'll try to show some pix. Actually it's Uhu between your fingers and pulling them apart repeating until they become thin threads. Transfer these threads to the surface of your dio.

Cheers,
Richard
