What is a grass flock applicator box?

A grass flock applicator box is a box-shaped tool used to create tufts of grass and bushes. This unique and versatile device allows for realistic flocking on small scale models and wargame figures. With this tool you can easily create realistic static grass tufts and bushes, as well as flock many other surfaces: scratchbooking album creations, jewelry boxes, toys or even plastic trees, among many others.

The difference with other portable flocking tools is that the grass fibers will remain inside a box instead of being spread all over the room. In addition, the object to be flocked must fit inside the device. It works by using an electrical charge to force the turf fibers to fly toward a metal surface of opposite polarity.

For optimum application, it is always recommended to use Green Stuff World's range of flocking, a high-quality electrostatic turf that ensures the best performance by being specially manufactured for electrical conductivity. The use of low-quality fiber, or even old or very dry fibers, can generate less satisfactory results in the grass flock applicator box.

Which glue to use with the flocking applicator?

For flocking application, the choice of the right glue depends on several factors, including the type of surface to be flocked, the flocking fibers used and the properties of the glue. However, some adhesives stand out for their performance and versatility in this context.

Water-based adhesives are a good choice. They are non-toxic, easy to use and clean up with water. They are perfect for beginners and for working in areas with poor ventilation. On the other hand, they are especially suitable for porous surfaces such as wood, paper and fabric. Traditional PVA glue is an example of this type of product, however, it is not the one that offers the best results.

Green Stuff World has in its catalog the Tuft Glue, specially designed to glue the fibers. One of its peculiarities is that it has little or no dripping, so the machine will not be stained during the process and no adhesive will be wasted. In many cases, its solubility in water is also an advantage. In addition, it is perfect for creating repositionable turf tufts.

Other options are latex-based adhesives, which offer greater adhesion and water resistance, but are more difficult to use and clean up. They are considered less effective for this purpose.

How does the grass flock applicator box work?

The Green Stuff World grass flock applicator box requires static electric current to charge the electrostatic turf, in this case from a 9V battery (not supplied). This current is responsible for the fibers to be placed vertically on the base or any other surface, giving to the miniature bases, models or dioramas the realistic 3D touch that you are looking for.

This flocking applicator is very efficient and offers excellent results. In addition, one of its advantages is that it is wireless, and only requires a 9V battery to operate, without using any type of cable. In addition to its advantages, its lightweight and protected design allows you to work more safely without dirtying the workspace, or even the entire room.

Its light weight comes from the top-quality materials it is made of: wood, methacrylate, and metal, all of which are included in this set. Likewise, this composition simplifies the flocking process to the maximum, reducing turf consumption and avoiding the dispersion of all the fibers around the machine.

Adding electrostatic turf fibers to any design is quite simple:

  1. Start by mounting the cover of the device and placing the 9V battery where it belongs.
  2. Spread the fibers you want to add to your stand on top of the machine. The amount will vary depending on the area to be covered and the finish each artist is looking for.
  3. Spread glue where you want to place the static grass.
  4. Glue the magnetized figure to the top of the box and place it in position.
  5. Connect the clamp to the magnetic sheet on the top of the box.
  6. Turn on the grass flock applicator box and wait for the fibers to stick.
  7. Cure your figure. Wait for the glue to dry completely before adding more elements to your figure.

Of course, the flocking applicator can be used for other types of projects: adding texture to a complete figure of different sizes, gluing flocking to paper or flat surfaces of other materials, creating trees for models, etc. In addition, it is not necessary that the objects being worked with are magnetized. In the case of flat and thin materials, they can be glued with small neodymium magnets. In all other cases, the device can be used without the top cover.

Finally, we recommend that you carefully read the user manual, especially the warnings, to avoid small accidental electric shocks, as well as to wear the appropriate protection during use and handling. This manual is also available on our website.
