Hi there,

I’m trying to figure out how to pour a large puddle (3 meters x 2 meters / 8 feet x 6 feet).

It would be poured directly on a concrete floor, although I think I will first cover it with some sort of a vinyl masking layer to protect the floor.

The conditions of the space:
-damp (100% humidity)
-cold (~10 degrees celcius / 50 fahrenheit)
-dark

I can probably warm up the space for the length that it needs to dry, which would also make the space dryer.

The idea is that the puddle will look like real water, which reflects the light from a video projector in front of it.

What do you guys think, is this possible at all?

Thank you!

Hi Marc,

I’m afraid your resin isn’t going to cure in an environment like this. It needs to be in the low 70’s F for curing.

We will probably heat the space during install of the project for a few days. This would help with the humidity, too.

Are there other issues you’re anticipating with making such a large puddle? How do I make sure it looks as realistic as possible?

Thanks!
