Woodland Realistic Water, 2nd pour?

I poured the Realist Water into the riverbed.The pour was almost 1/8" plus or minius 1/16.I had a few leaks but they stopped.
The product shrunkat least 1/16" or a little more in depth when it dried.The one area that is supposed to be a rapids area looks more like a beaver damn or a low flow of water time period.I want the raipids to look as intended.Should I pour a 2 nd layer.Are there any problems that can develop if I pour a 2nd layer?

A shallow second pur shouldn't hurt anything.  That said, rapids aren't going to be created by this product alone.  Realistic Water tends to be both self leveling and flat smooth when it's done, so you need to in vet in something like acrylic gloss medium to "paint" rapids on the water surface after you pour it.

Onc eyou do the water effects work, you may want to dry brush the rapids with some white acrylic paint to highlight the riffles and runs.

I saw that you can mix the white pigment/paint  into the water effects also the brush the mixture on.
