How to use

Select tufts that match the scale and color palette of your scene and trim if a smaller size is required. Apply a small amount of PVA glue, scenic adhesive, or superglue to the model surface and press the tuft gently into place. Allow adequate drying time for the chosen adhesive, then blend edges with additional ground scatter or paint to integrate the tufts seamlessly into the terrain. Position tufts in clusters or sporadic patterns to mimic natural growth patterns.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test placement on a scrap surface before final gluing, and combine green and red tufts with other scenic materials like fine turf, static grass, or small rocks to achieve a realistic appearance while respecting the scale of your model.
