MissElle Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I am using the loose landscape material that is used for train sets. First I coated the “ground” with white glue and then sprinkled on which ever color I needed. There is extra material on top that didn’t get the glue. I do like the way it looks. But I was wonder about other people’s experience using this. Mainly if it gets dusty after time, how bad that may look. It would be difficult to clean. Does anyone coat their landscape with anything?

Mary11 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have used the roll of "grass". This has worked well for me and if you have to use sticky tack on it to hold something in place it comes right off leaving the "grass" unharmed.

Contrary Housewife Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have use spray coats on the flocking. It will protect the "grass" to some degree, but it also gives it a more matted down plastic look. And it does not deter dust. I use a LOT of white glue when I put down flock. It insures that I get a good thick layer of it and it is all glued securely. You can always put down more glue and more flocking if you think you don't have enough held on securely.

havanaholly Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've used the rolled "grass" railroad modelers use; the color fades over time if sunlight hits it. You can use one of the fluffy polyfiber dusters on the flocking, can't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaC Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 A remnant of indoor/outdoor carpeting worked for me for grass. I left space close to the house for flower beds. The grass can be vacuumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Linda, that's brilliant! I even like the way it looks far better than the terry toweling I've seen painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
