Has anyone used one of these and do they work?

Thanks

i got one of these and to be honest was not impressed a lot of the fibres just landed in a heap i have since got one of these and it is brilliant  made loads of grass strips and tufts and every fibre stands proud

p.s i put an offer of £50 in and it got accepted

all of my grass is done with a guagemaster pufferbottle (made by noch) i found theres a knack to it, fill it to the line on the bottle give it a really good shake, then raise it up and squeeze as you  come back down firing the fibres at the glue and they should perform as intended and stand up,,,,, once i perfected it large areas can be done quite quickly and efficiently with the bottle,,,,

Can I ask what length/brand of grass you're using ? All I've seen is 2mm long stuff which equates to 12" blades in N gauge.

im using noch/gaugemaster summer meadow i think its called,,,, gives quite a good cover without looking too long,,,,

oh i forgot after finishing up with the grassing, give it a spray with artist spray varnish or some good ol hairspray to fix it in place,,,,

I`m not impressed with mine and would like to say that if you have any sign of breathing/ chest trouble be sure to wear a good facemask at all times.I didn`t just once and suffered for several weeks after its use

Well thanks for the advice As it's mixed opinions I'm unsure about the product but maybe worth a gamble at less than a fiver.

There is a small static applicator thats only £25 on page 22 Jan issue of Model rail

Hi Rob,

I use one of these puffer bottles and am quite pleased with the results. I use a mix of different shades and brands of static grass.

As Fratton states if you get the knack right it's quite good.
