whats it called? - rogerw - 04-17-2009
what is it called when you use static electricity to put on grass. I thought there was talk about this over at the utter site . I thought some one had talked about making a home made applicator that put a static charge on the grass when you apply it to the layout . Any help please Thanks in advance Roger

Hi Roger, i think your talking about a Static Grass Applicator, and i believe that was Wayne (doctorwanye) that made a home made one, hopefully Wayne will chime in here and share again

A company called Noch makes a static grass applicator unit, you can google Noch and find it.....

thanks guys , thats why i love this site .
Re: whats it called? - Trucklover - 04-17-2009
No problem Roger
As Richard said, Noch also makes a Static Grass Applicator, ive heard it works great, but the downside is that its just so dang expensive lol

Hi All,
I too have been looking at a cheaper option to the Noch applicator ... i never mind buying equipment for the railroad but they are too much as Josh says
Thanks shortliner i have ordered one of the insect killers shown in the second link .... works out better than one of the Noch puffer bottles as well.
Post some pics when i get it up and sorted the results should be interesting

Lee Valley (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.leevalley.com">www.leevalley.com</a><!-- w -->) sells a flocking gun (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=44669&cat=1,250,43298,43300">http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx ... 3298,43300</a><!-- m -->) designed to fire 1/32" flock. Don't know how it would perform with longer grass, but maybe worth a try at under CAN$7.
