Product Information

Full details

The Woodland Scenics Static Grass Shaker Kit (6595) is an essential tool for hobbyists and modelers looking to add realistic texture to miniature bases, gaming mats, and dioramas. By providing a manual shaker applicator alongside two types of static grass and specialized adhesive, this kit allows users to achieve authentic ground cover and natural vegetation variations with ease. While it excels at small-to-medium scale detail work and targeted application, it is best suited for manual projects rather than large-scale, high-density professional scenic layouts.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for model train layouts?

Yes, it is excellent for small areas or adding detail around structures, but it is not recommended for covering massive areas compared to larger electrostatic devices.

Do I need an electrical power source for this kit?

No, this is a fully manual system that relies on shaking motions rather than electricity.

How long does the Game-Tac adhesive take to dry?

Drying times vary based on humidity and thickness of application, but it typically becomes tacky within minutes and cures fully in a few hours.

Can I mix the different grass lengths?

Absolutely; mixing the 4mm and 7mm grass lengths creates a more natural, varied texture often found in real-world fields.

Is the sieve removable?

Yes, the kit includes interchangeable sieves that allow you to customize the distribution flow.

What surfaces does Game-Tac stick to?

It is designed to bond effectively to most porous and non-porous model materials, including painted surfaces, wood, and plastic.

Troubleshooting

Grass fibers are clumping together.

Ensure the surface is not over-saturated with adhesive and check that the sieve is clean and dry before shaking.

Grass does not stand up vertically.

Because this is a manual shaker, fibers will not stand perfectly vertical like they would with an electrostatic flocking machine; use the thatch comb to manually adjust the orientation of the fibers.

Adhesive drying too quickly.

Apply the adhesive in smaller sections rather than covering the entire base at once to ensure a tacky surface for the grass to adhere to.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive all-in-one starter kit for static grass application
  • Provides two different lengths of grass for visual depth
  • Easy-to-use manual shaker design requires no batteries or complex wiring
  • Thatch comb allows for post-application grooming
  • Excellent for smaller projects like miniature bases and focused diorama sections

Cons

  • Manual shaking lacks the electrostatic charge required for perfectly vertical grass alignment
  • Not intended for covering large-scale model railway layouts
  • Limited volume of static grass included in the starter kit
  • Requires careful manual control to prevent clumping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris before applying Game-Tac. The kit is compatible with most standard hobby materials including polystyrene, wood, and plastic bases. After use, ensure the sieve and shaker lid are wiped clean of any residual adhesive to prevent clogging. Always store the static grass in a dry environment to avoid moisture absorption, which can cause fibers to clump together. Keep the adhesive container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent it from drying out prematurely.
