Water Effect Calculator — Resin & Ripple Volumes
Calculate resin, water effect and ripple product volumes for ponds, streams, rivers and sea features on your diorama.
Total depth of water feature
Include ripple gel for surface texture
How We Calculate This
The calculator computes the volume of water effect product needed from the area and depth of your water feature.
Formula
- Volume (ml) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Depth (cm)
- Pour count = Total depth / 3mm per pour (rounded up)
- Ripple gel: ~0.05 ml per cm² of surface area
