I have read a number of methods on the 'net, but since I am working on modules (2x4 feet only), I agree that it seems a lot of trouble to go to for that small a space.
I did try making my own with some paint, old sponge/foam and an old blender, but results were not great. It is nice that you can vary the texture, but I found the colour never really took to the sponge. I did not try with automotive foam, so perhaps that was the problem.
Since returning to the commercial route,I buy bags not shakers since the "official" container seems to add significantly to the price. I have a collection of peanut butter jars that work great for storage and dispensing. I'd also advise that there is more than Woodland Scenics in this game too.
