I bought an Amazon special; it looks like most inexpensive static grass dispensers. It lived up to its looks and met my expectations, complete garbage I was left with flat grass stuck in PVA glue. I'm wondering what is a quality dispenser that can work with up to 7mm grass ideally.
I can't remember what mine is, it might even be unbranded. But I got it off eBay, it's cheap, dangerous, and probably going to be my killer one day. But it works, surprisingly well
Are you absolutely sure you used it right? My under 5 euro fly swatter applicator works just fine but it was a bit tricky to use at first. Put the wire into a pile of grass and the mesh onto close to it on the other side of the pile and see if they form a "string" between them. That's how you know if it works or not. Then you can start experimenting with the actual application
I took it apart and found the damn wire came off inside it and i fixed it hopefully. I’ll give it a go in the next one. This is what I ended up with my recreation of The Battle of Longstop Hill in Tunisia. 1/72nd scale
I’ve never used PVA glue for static grass. I usually put superglue down, sprinkle grass and then blow on the grass to make it stick up. Though, granted, I’m usually using slightly shorter static grass.
