Yes, while achieving perfect results may take practice, the puffer bottle offers a straightforward method for applying static grass, making it accessible for beginners.
Ensure the glue is applied evenly and try varying the distance and pressure when squeezing the puffer. Gentle tapping on the bottle can help distribute fibers.
Check if enough glue was applied to the base. Ensure the static grass is fresh and not clumped. The glue may need more time to set.
Empty the bottle and gently clear any blockages with a fine brush or a thin wire. Ensure grass material is dry before filling.
Setup: The puffer bottle is ready for immediate use. Ensure the bottle is clean before filling with your chosen static grass material. For application, it is recommended to first apply a layer of specialized model grass glue to the desired area of your layout. Then, hold the puffer bottle a short distance above the glued surface and gently squeeze to release the static grass fibers.
Compatibility: This puffer bottle is designed to work with most standard static grass products, including other Hornby SkaleScenics static grasses (e.g., R7179, R7178). It is suitable for use on various model scales and types of model bases.
Care: After use, clean the inside of the puffer bottle to prevent clogging. Empty any residual grass material and wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
