While surfing the interweb about static grass applicators, I started looking into a home made version such as the one Doc Wayne showed us in one of his old threads. I saw a pretty good version using the Harbor Freight elec flyswatter, both excellent inexpensive alternatives to the expensive Noch machine...
As I was cleaning up after a scuba birthday party at the dive shop, it hit me......
....could I use the satic electricity from a party balloon??? You remember..when you were a kid and rubbed the balloon on your head and it would stick to you?
Well, guess what, I think it does ... I just put a really thin layer of glue down, sprinkled some of the Noch grass and lowered the balloon slowly down until the grass started popping up! With a little practice, this might work pretty well for small areas, little tufts maybe a little layer over existing grass....
The pic doesn't do it justice, I'll experiment a little and post a better pic
