If it works go for it.

Dry enough to paint in under a hour imo

I used builders caulk to stick the Styrofoam down. Pva is fine to use but dot it when doing large areas to avoid warp and help it dry.

Agree with you it seems to lose the tac of the glue over time. I want to try dipping in latex to seal it, on my experiment list to try.

@@StevesSmallWorld So I made a new batch but this time I used waaay less paint, and just worked that small amount of paint into the foam over a longer period of time. When it dried it was so much lighter and fluffier, and actually clumped together better! I've had some test trees drying overnight and so far none of them have dropped any pieces, even when shaken. I think the weight of the paint is just too much, try cutting the paint and report back!

Thank you for watching. It is a very cheap way of creating earth texture and can be used over standard polystyrene saving you money on materials such as xps etc

Thank you for watching, simple techniques can give great results.

The breaking the plaster up is the key to a great looking cliff.

Thank you for watching

Oopsy shows how short of time I am these days thx for the spot

Roflol

Thank you for watching

Static does make things interesting lol. I have been told a wet wipe to wipe your fingers reduces it , I am tempted to put an antistatic cable on my work top and connect it to the metal desk legs to see if it helps.

Thank you for watching , hope to do more videos in the new year

I think the flock would fade over time . Main issue would be rain as plaster etc absorb moisture.

Thank you for watching. I normaly let the left over plaster residue dry in the mixing cup then crush the cup so it shatters the plaster , the bits come in useful in builds for rubble etc .

Pva glue , when Eling I thin it down its water and add a flow aid a drip of dish soap works well.

@@StevesSmallWorld thanks :) is that on the steel gun as well? Timeline 1:35

In the gun I use builders caulk , it is cheap and very useful for terrain building.

Slow drying and give it a mix and more drying is the best , the summer this year can stick it out side and let the sun do it saving some money

Thank you for watching , this is my goto method when I want cheap flock specially a mix of colours.

Thank you for watching. Hoping to get back to terrain videos soon.

Great to start doing videos again it has been hard to find time since covid and having my 95 year old mum (grandmother) down near us to look after.

Always a great friendly show , some people there I have known for over 25 years

So much work goes into some of the games and it shows.

Thx. It is good to be back I did plan to get a couple of videos in the can last week but life got in the way. If I can do 1 a month min then build up I be happy.

@@StevesSmallWorld Yeah that's perfect. Don't need to overdo it and stress ourselves about. Do it for you. Keep em coming at your own pace hey. Great seeing you back at the hobby🙂

Thx. Good to be back doing some crafting I have a couple of videos I want to do planned just getting use to only having my phone and webcams as my camera died after 14 years.

That's rough, especially when one is that used to a certain setup. "I fear change." and all that. Still, there's a lot of great phone video out there. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it... or a new cam

Smells great compared to printer resin :p

Been a tuff year and my 95 year old mum takes alot of my time with odd jobs she needs doing. Starting to pick on bits on my to do crafting list. The kids are pushing me to get their stuff painted as well.

It took so long to film I ended up using table spotlights to get some of it done so it could dry over night , I have improved the lighting in the room I use since then but need a new camera as it died.

I purchased it as low as my oven will go. I want to get a small oven at some point for drying stuff and softening plastic that can be used for crafting only.

Great I could help , there is a video on chep flock and lef scatter that might be of help to you.

Thank you
