I've never tried to make or use a static grass applicator before but you can't argue with the results!

And if I'm interpreting this correctly you now have to bang some nails into your temple base to apply the grass, which sounds like the sort of thing that nothing could possibly go wrong with!

Luckily for me, nothing never ever goes wrong when I'm hobbying! And we won't talk about the incident that's left my pinky numb for the last 3 years. Glad the static grass applicator is working out for you. I've tried a number of methods and have never been happy with them. Someday, maybe. Those pics of Maine are beautiful! It's one of the states I've always wanted to check out too.

LOL<br />Have seen the applicators, and yours looks good, you can achieve a similar effect with the static grass, with just a balloon, put the glue down then the grass, rub a balloon on your T-shirt generating static electricity, then pass over the grass about 2 cm above, and the grass will then stand up just the same.<br />Great pictures of your trip, and sounds like you had a good time.Dave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.com
