David you are welcome to come and do some scenery on my layout. As always, you do a very good job of explaining and demonstrating. Can’t wait for the structures and operations on the WSS.

David, I really enjoy your instructional videos. It’s amazing that I was just looking at static grass applicators and I didn’t know there were so many products such as highlighted in your video. I wrote down the numbers and will be investigating. Thanks for the help. Phil

Wow, what a great product David and it looks so natural on that layout, nice work. You just solved a problem for my layout for filling in between tracks in some of the wilder branch areas. One question, do you think that one could use the regular static grass applicator over that mat material to fill in some bald spots? Thanks.

David, looks great - nice work. Yes, the advantage of scenic cement versus diluted white glue is that usually there is no shine when dry. I sometimes use a small spray bottle to apply the scenic cement so that not so much is applied. All the best.

Thanks David!

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using deluted white glue or scenic cement to finish scenery?

I thought maybe it would be better to use diluted white glue because it is easy to find and very inexpensive.

Thanks again!

Hey David, that was a very instructional video and I learned a lot about static grass mats. I have areas on my layout where I want to put wild grass but I don’t have the static tool to ‘plant’ the grass. These
products are just the answer I was looking for. Thanks!
