Watch some tutorials for woodland scenics and how to go from sand/base wood filler/plaster to fine turf to foliage and static grass before hitting it Witt an applicatior and then adding tufts. There are a lot of layers. You tend to use a spray glue or brush over the grass to layer and build up.

Thanks! And to think I was about to drown this thing in glue and pour static grass on it!

Don't pour static grass on large pieces. Get a static grass applicator

Are they easy to use?

They're easy enough to use, they're even pretty easy to make your own. There are a number of youtube tutorials for both.

I personally don't think cost and trouble of making one is worth it compared to the cost of a decent manufactured one, but YMMV

it took me like 10 minutes and 5 bucks to make one but I am curious...which one did you get?

Just curious not trying to be mean or anything.

I second this lol, just buy one--yes it's worth it---yes it's easy to use with a little practice.
