Dave,

Sort of. We don't have the open rocks like you show. But, on our way up to Alexandria Bay along route 12 you get what you've modeled. I've been wanting to take pictures of it now for a while. Unfortunately it'll have to wait till next year. We closed up this past Friday/Saturday.

I've been working on the river part of '3 bridges gorge'.  In particular, I tried some paint to go underneath the Envirotex Lite.  

Now to experiment with the Envirotex, and with paint underneath, I built a little testbed:


The idea is to try different paint schemes, as well as see what happens with rounded (Sculptamold) and flush (wood) corners, etc.  Before I laid down the Sculptamold, I sealed this with one coat of Titebond III.  This'll dry today, and I'll try various paint schemes tomorrow.  

The basement -was- nice and dry until our 3 days of rain.  Humidity is up to 50%, which is the limit for Envirotex.  So I'll need to wait for the layout pour for a week or so while the weather cools down, the heat starts running, and the basement humidity drops.

Nice rockwork Dave.  Good idea to experiment, and will be interesting to see how the Envirotex pour goes.  You only get one shot I guess.

Hence the value of experimentation
