[QUOTE="dclunie, post: 5237533, member: 91004"] Transparencies work really well actually. I think the only thing you have to watch out for if using a laser printer is that you make sure you use the transparency setting and make sure you don't print too many in a row else ou'll likely to melt the transparency in your printer. Just be careful is all. I have another set of "tiles" that are more of a dirty/murky/sewer water that I originally printed out on transparencies with my laser printer and works well for fast changing water effects like a flash flood, sprung water leak, etc. You can vary the % of opaqueness in a graphics app to either get a very dark, but see through if you use it with 100% opaqueness and can vary the amount to make it lighter and lighter to almost a fine tint of blue. I just finished my 2nd pour of resin on 4 5x5 in tiles, out of 4 total pours for a large "ocean field" to play on which is why i created these sheets. After the "base water" going to make some sandy shoreline with some craft sand, gravel/ballast, and foam core and more resin after everything else is glued down so that the resin flows over "under water parts" and creates a somewhat realistic shoreline. instead of using 5 min epoxy for a wavy action might switch it up and use clear silicone and white silicone bath caulk for white caps.
