VMS Sand & Ballast Freeze 30 ml

VMS Sand & Ballast Freeze is a capillary action acrylic adhesive designed specifically for bonding loose materials like sand, gravel, rubble, and ballast. Its extremely low surface tension allows it to bond even the finest grains (such as micronised sand) without disrupting the natural structure of the materials. This makes it ideal for creating realistic terrain without disturbing the fine details or textures of the sand, gravel, or rubble you’re working with.

Key Features:

• Precise Adhesion: Effectively bonds loose materials such as sand, gravel, and rubble by utilizing capillary action, ensuring a tight, stable bond without disturbing the grain structure.
• Wide Range of Particle Sizes: Works with fine 40 µm sand (0.04 mm) up to coarse gravel several millimeters in diameter, giving you complete flexibility in creating detailed, realistic terrain.
• Shaping Capabilities: Once applied, the terrain remains saturated and can be shaped, allowing you to create footprints, dune effects, or even tire/track prints in wet terrain.
• Easy to Use: The product can be applied with either a dropper bottle or brush for precise control, allowing you to create fine details or larger coverage areas with ease.

How to Use:

1. Apply Using Capillary Action: Use a dropper bottle or brush to apply Sand & Ballast Freeze to your loose material. The product will be drawn into the grains of sand, gravel, or other terrain material via capillary action.
2. Saturate the Terrain: Ensure that the terrain is fully saturated with the adhesive. Once applied, the adhesive will bond the particles together and hold them in place.
3. Shape the Terrain: After applying the adhesive, you can further shape your terrain by pressing down on the material to create features like footprints, tire tracks, or any other desired texture.
4. Dry and Set: Allow the adhesive to dry and bond, locking the material into place.

Important Notes:

• Temperature Sensitivity: Do not freeze Sand & Ballast Freeze. The product is susceptible to low temperatures and should be stored and handled at room temperature for optimal performance.
• Ideal for Terrain: Perfect for creating natural, realistic terrain effects in dioramas, models, and other scenic projects.

Recommended Techniques:

• Capillary Action: Best applied using a dropper bottle for precision or a brush for larger areas.
• Combine with: Loose materials like sand, gravel, and ballast, or other VMS textures and pigments.

VMS Sand & Ballast Freeze is the perfect tool for any modeler looking to bond loose terrain materials securely while preserving the natural textures and details. Whether you're working with fine sands or larger gravel, this product ensures your terrain stays intact and highly detailed, making it easier than ever to create realistic, shaped terrain features.
