Static Grass not sticking up

    Ron, If you touch the wire/aligator clip to the applicator mesh do you hear a snap or get a spark?

    I built one using the flyswatter which works good. 

    I put the wire probe in the glue, shake out the grass about 3/4" above the glue and it should stand up nicely.

Hi Dan, 

Yes she sparks.  During my shaking the mesh basket hit the nail and I got a nice unexpected spark.

I will be watching some videos this AM.

Have you tried watering it.........LOL

Its the glue..... if you're are going to use white glue, do NOT dilute it. Straight out of the container as it needs to be thick. It's best to use a thick tacky glue especially if you are using tall grass. Paint and diluted white glue are not thick enough to hold it up. We used the tub of Noch static grass glue but there are other brands. Yes it's somewhat expensive but if you already bought the applicator and grass......splurge on the proper glue. The right tool for the job

Use hairspray.

I just tried some hairspray from the dollar store and I also tried some undiluted white glue painted on the foam heavy.  Both worked well.  I might use the hairspray in open areas and the white glue where I want to be careful of overspray.

Thanks for the help!!!

Ron
