What is a static grass applicator?

Can I use regular glue?

How much grass do I need?
The amount depends on the size of your project. The 500ml canister provides a generous amount for most model projects. Estimate based on the area you wish to cover.
How do I store the static grass?

Troubleshooting
Grass is not standing up properly.
Ensure you are using a static grass applicator and that the glue is conductive. Also, make sure the static grass is applied with the correct voltage.
Grass clumps together.
Apply the grass in thin layers, and ensure even distribution with the applicator. Use a sieve to remove any clumps before application.
Grass detaches easily after drying.
Use a strong adhesive and allow ample drying time. Consider applying a sealant to further secure the grass.
