          Well i had a bash at this today i used EZ water by woodland scenics which is melted in a pan and poured on. my main concern was melting the sub but time to experiment. i poured it in and yes the rudder melted but nothing that can't be hidden and i used a hair dryer on cool to blow some ripples as it solidified which happened in about a minute. I'll add some waves when it cools.

              I have spent a little time with the CT1 which acts the same as silicone but no smell and is crystal clear . i think i have disguised the floppy rudder ok.

                    Thank you I'll be finishing it off this evening putting some acrylic tips on the waves a few wet patches on the hull and some weed. Then I'll try to get some decent pictures taken.

                            The rudder was probably damaged when she grounded!
