Default Is there a product?
Newbie here.....I just finished carving and painting a loon. Is there a product out there that can simulate beading water?

You know.....water beading on a loon's back for example?

There are several irridescent paints that may be used to simulate beaded water.
Most craft stores, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Wal-MArt stores have them.

Are you trying to mimic wet irradecense or water drops ? For beaded water drops you can actually use cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) the size of the drops can be controlled by the tip you use to apply the glue IE: wire, needle, pin head, etc...

I'm sure many products would produce similar results, but Cyanoacrylate tends to be very clear with less yellowing. HTH ?

I'll give that a shot - on a scrap and see if that is the look I am envisioning. THANKS!
