I'd like to explore layering of static grasses. I attempted to add some depth to what I put in last night, and for my added layer I experimented with spraying diluted white glue where I wanted to add the additional grass. I tried two sprayers - one a mist-type that had some eyeglass cleaning solution (tried that one first). First spray.... great. Second? a single small stream, which wasn't what I was after. Appears the glue gums up the diversity nozzle. The second candidate was a standard spay bottle (leftover spray cleaner bottle) set to "Spray". Again, the first few spritzes weren't bad, then the nozzle gummed up. Nonetheless, I was able to add a bit of depth to what was already glued down, but it made me think that there were probably some better ideas for layering adhesive application.
Looked for some advice on the internet and I came across some WSScenics static grass layering spray. Bingo. Doesn't appear to be PVA (white glue), and as you can tell from the title, seems to be tailored to layering. While I was at it, I purchased some of the WSScenics Summer and Patchy grass products - which from the videos I've seen have a lot less sheen on the fibers than the bags I bought previously. All of it's coming from the UK, so I think I'll stall on working any static grass into the layout for now. Plenty to work on in the meantime!
