Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the best way to apply Fruit and Flowers products?
  
  The best way to adhere Fruit is to spray Scenic Cement™ onto foliage, then let it set until tacky (nearly dry). Sprinkle on Fruit and overspray with a VERY fine mist of Scenic Cement. Do not get the fruit too wet or the color may run.
  
  To adhere Flowers, spray Scenic Cement on landscape, sprinkle Flowers on wet adhesive and spray again to seal in place.

- What is the best way to adhere clump foliage to nearly vertical surfaces? I have tried many methods but the clumps keep falling off after a few weeks.
  
  This depends on what type of surface you want to adhere the foliage to. We have created three-dimensional trees by gluing foliage to foam board backgrounds. The Clump-Foliage™ must be broken into manageable size pieces (approximately the size of our Bushes). We use Foam Tack Glue™ to adhere the foliage, piece by piece. Dry flat and let the glue dry thoroughly.

- I am having a problem with my foliage staying on trees. I used Clump-Foliage broken up into small pieces, put on Hob-E-Tac and waited for about 10 minutes. What could it be?
  
  The drying time of Hob-e-Tac® varies due to environmental conditions and thickness of application. Typically, dry time is between 20-45 minutes. It is possible the 10 minutes of dry time was not sufficient. Hob-e-Tac must dry clear before foliage is applied or it will not stick. If it is still white, it is not dry.
  
  Recommendation for making trees. Apply Hob-e-Tac to all branches. Avoid trunk area where foliage does not grow naturally. Wait for adhesive to become clear and tacky. Break Clump-Foliage into manageable size pieces and pinch firmly onto branches.

- How do you get the clump foliage trees so full? I bought your kit and I cannot get them to look like that. Do you apply another coat of the hob-e-tac to the first application of foliage then add more foliage?
  
  Here is our method for modeling trees with Clump-Foliage, which provides a very thick, realistic looking tree.
  1. Bend and twist Tree Armatures into realistic, three-dimensional shapes. A popular technique is to have the branches resemble deer antlers. This shape helps hold more foliage on Armatures.
  2. Apply Hob-e-Tac (S195) liberally to all sides of branches, avoiding trunk area where foliage does not grow naturally. Wait for adhesive to become clear and tacky (very important). Dry time varies due to environmental conditions, 20-45+ minutes.
  3. Break Clump-Foliage into manageable size pieces that are proprotional to the size of the Tree Armatures you are using. Dip the Tree Armature deep into the bag of Clump-Foliage, remove carefully and shake gently to remove excess. Dip into bag of foliage again, if desired. Then, pinch Clump-Foliage firmly on branches to secure.
  4. Overspray Clump-Foliage with Scenic Cement (S192) to help seal in place.

- How many 2-4” Tree Armatures can be foliated with one bag of Foliage Clusters?
  
  This is difficult to calculate with Foliage Clusters, as the size of foliage is created by the customer. We recommend breaking foliage into pieces approximately 1/8"-5/16" for 2"-4" Tree Armatures. With these size pieces, one bag of Foliage Clusters will foliage approximately 40 trees. Actual coverage depends on how thick the foliage is applied.

Soft Flake Snow^™

Use to model light snow, heavy drifts or to create frothy, river rapids.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I give a matte-white snow base a crystalized, icy look?
  
  Mix a tiny amount of fine, iridescent glitter with Snow Flake Snow™ until the desired look is achieved, keeping in mind that a little goes a long way. Spray an already modeled snow base with Scenic Cement™ and apply the mixture while glue is wet.
  
  You can also mix glitter with Water Effects™ before modeling icicles.
- How can I make a frozen pond?
  
  Prepare your water areas as usual and pour Realistic Water. While it is still wet, lightly sprinkle Soft Flake Snow on top. This will create a glazed, frosted look to simulate a frozen, icy surface.

Talus

Model talus (rock debris) wherever you create rock faces, outcroppings and or road cuts.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Generally, what is the difference between Ballast and Talus?
  
  Ballast is placed along the railroad track to model actual ballast that holds track in place.
  
  Talus is used to model rock debris under rock outcroppings, rocky hillsides or embankments.
- I would like to duplicate the look of the Desert Sand Ready-Grass Sheet. Is this color turf available?
  
  Desert Sand ReadyGrass Vinyl Mats are made with a special, very fine blend of Talus.
  
  The closest match is Fine Grade Talus in Buff.
  
  To achieve the same fine consistency, place Talus in a plastic bag and seal. On a safe surface, tap Talus with a hammer until desired consistency is achieved.
- What is the best way to model sand?
  
  Place fine grade Talus in a plastic bag and seal it. On a safe surface, tap Talus with a hammer until desired consistency is achieved. It can also be colored with Earth Colors Liquid Pigment to achieve the desired color of sand.
Ballast and Coal

Use Ballast and Coal for any scale to model realistic railroad track, gravel roads, crushed rock and stones, hopper loads and coal piles.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does your coal have any metallic or magnetic substances in it?
  
  No, our coal does not contain metal or magnetic substances of any kind.
- Generally, what is the difference between Ballast and Talus?
  
  Ballast is placed along the railroad track to model actual ballast that holds track in place.
  
  Talus is used to model rock debris under rock outcroppings, rocky hillsides or embankments.
- I am going to place Ballast on my ReadyGrass Mat. Do I scrape the turf off the mat first, or just add the Ballast on top of the turf?
  
  If you are just adding landscape materials, such as Ballast, there is no need to scrape the turf off prior to application.
  
  If you are laying track and adding Ballast, we recommend scraping the turf off before adhering the track.
- Is your "ballast" real stone?
  
  No, our Ballast is not real stone.
- I wish to change the color and shade of some packets of ballast as I can not match any of your products to the color that I require. Could you please recommend the types of inks, dyes, paints or anything I could use to effect the changes that I need.
  
  We recommend using our Earth Colors Liquid Pigments (C1216-C1223, C1228, C1229) to dye Ballast.
  
  In a disposable plastic cup, add Ballast to desired color of pigment and mix thoroughly with a craft stick or paintbrush. If a lighter color is desired, dilute pigment with water. Let set until preferred color is achieved. Spread out Ballast on newspaper or paper towels and let dry.
- I am building the Grand Valley Layout Kit and the instructions say to use "wet water" with Ballast. On YouTube I found a Woodland video on how to adhere Ballast and it said not to use "wet water" or it will interfere with the adhesion. Which is correct?
  
  Both are correct. The Scenic Cement that is included with the Grand Valley Layout Kit is a concentrated formula and does not contain the wetting agent that regular Scenic Cement does. This is why the Grand Valley (and other Layout Kits) instructions state to mist Ballast with "wet water" before applying the Scenic Cement.
- I have started my layout. Should I ballast my track first?
  
  If there are tunnels on the layout, ballast track approximately 6” into the tunnels on both ends before enclosing them.
  
  Ballast the rest of the track after coloring rock castings with Earth Colors Liquid Pigment and applying Earth Colors Liquid Pigment-Earth Undercoat to the terrain.
  
  Add landscape materials to the layout after ballasting is completed.
  
  Click here to view a demonstration of applying Ballast to track.
- I want to Ballast my track. Can I put Scenic Glue over my Track-Bed to adhere it?
  
  We recommend using Scenic Cement™ rather than Scenic Glue™ because the Ballast will lay more evenly and be better secured.
  
  Apply Ballast onto track and brush from rails and top of ties. Mist adhesive over Ballast to wet the surface, and then saturate it for a strong bond using an eyedropper or the Scenic Sprayer™. Clean rails before use.
  
  Click here to view a demonstration of applying Ballast to track.
- I used Scenic Cement to apply my Ballast, and now I need to disassemble my layout and move it. How do I release the Ballast from the track?
  
  To remove Ballast from the track, soften the Scenic Cement™ with warm, soapy water. If the glue is hard to remove, use denatured alcohol.
