Peter says: You have two possible solutions. The first is a puffer bottle which, at around £6, is a very economical option. They’re available from Gaugemaster, Hornby and Noch and offer a very simple and easy way to dispense short grass fibres onto wet glue. Just remove the plastic plug, put some fibres into the bottle, replace the cap and shake the bottle for a few seconds. This will introduce a modest static charge into the fibres and, after unscrewing the cap, you are ready to puff fibres into the wet glue. These simple devices can produce decent results.
