Good work. I've seen a youtube video where the guy says for best effect you vacuum the grass 4 minutes after application. By then the PVA holds the roots and makes the grass stand up better. I've tried it with a cheap applicator and it definilty worked. Maybe not as important with a higher quality applicator though. The video says that for 7mm or longer grass, vacuuming is a must. Hope that adds some ideas and helps with experimentation. Happy Modelling
Thank you! We still need a LOT of practice, but it does look better than the other stuff we have used. It's not as easy to get it to stand up straight we thought it would be.
@@TwoRailfans thanks John, there’s nothing prototypical or to scale on my layout, as good as the static grass looks, I’ll skip it for now, one day I may build a prototypical section on my layout and put this to use. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
@@TwoRailfans I don't know the name of mine I bought it back when I first started building a layout but don't use so much glue make the glue more flat and if your using the wax paper stuff you got to make sure it's getting the current threw it maybe use a gator clip on it that way it's getting into the paper it's self I would try it on the foam board first
Leave a comment with your static grass tips!
Thank you so much for trying out the Static King and making this video!
Thank you for watching! We still need a lot of practice, but I think it works well.
@@TwoRailfanswow you got a comment from woodland
Great demo, very interesting, first time seeing the Static King.
Thank you. It definitely will take some practice, but we are hoping in the end to create some nice plant effects with it.
I hope to get one someday. It definitely add realism. Thanks for sharing your experience, John. 👊🏼😎
Thanks for watching Dru!
top set up ... very simular to wws ... please wear a mask ... the grass is fibre glass fibres .. great video .. regards mark ...
Thank you Mark! I will be sure to wear a mask from now on. I wasn't even aware that it was fiber glass.
Nice demo John. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Thank you. We still need a lot of practice!

Thanks for the tip! We will try that on the next round with the vacuum.
Interesting, this is something I’ve never tried, well done!
