Hi Jeff, Dave Frary has a You Tube video titled 'Building Water On The
Seaport Model Works Display'. On the video he states it takes
ten coats of Mod Poge to finish the water. He also seals the
finished water with a furniture acrylic varnish. the video also
gives quite a few tips on applying the Mod Podge. If I could
figure out how to embed the video i would, my apologies.I'm
getting ready to take on my first water project, post some pictures
of your project. Good luck, Mike
Here it is.....
It looks very interesting, thanks!

The last time I used it - quite some time ago and for a water feature that is no longer on the layout, I lost track. I put over a dozen on it and then made it a habit to just do another coat when I thought about it, for several weeks. I'd estimate 25 coats? It looked great, by the way. I use another method now but not for any dis-satsifaction with it. It was great looking water.
Peter Thanks for posting

I love ModPodge. The reason you need so many coats is because that is where the look of depth comes from. An alternative is to apply the ModPodge onto plate glass, after first painting the underside of the glass. That way, the depth comes from the glass and a single coat or two of ModPodge suffices to produce the surface waves:
