For an upcoming little diorama I will be adding snow effects, but am also thinking about maybe adding some ice, either to small frozen puddles, small pools or maybe a small water section on the dio base.

What would be the best material to make ice from?

So far I have two possible methods in mind...
First, using clear epoxy resin, mixing and spreading a very thin layer, on something like cling film, then when it fully dries and hardens, cut it or crack it into small pieces.
Second option, maybe do the same but with clear mastic type sealant, eg: very thin layer on cling film, then when set cut into ice shaped / sized pieces.

Maybe hot glue would work too, eg: thin layer on clingfilm....

If anyone else has any other ideas I would be happy to hear them.
Cheers
