Static grass is best applied using a static grass applicator.
There are several on the market and they can apply grass up to 12mm depending on which applicator you choose. Please note some will only allow you to use up to 6mm static grass while others will let you go up to twelve.
The the grass is electrostatically charged as it leaves the applicator making the grass fibres stand up, so that when they hit the glue, they stay standing giving you a lush grassy area.
Most applicators take a 9volt battery (the square one) which is enough to charge the grass.
On the applicator there is a wire which you connect to the wet PVA glue which completes the circuit and gives you the desired finish.
It sounds more complicated than it is, but it is really easy to use and can create excellent results.
