I had the same problem when I first started. I came up with a couple ways to make it stick better. The first involves the hobby tack stuff they included with the kit. I put on a fair amount of the stuff, about 20 trees at a time and just let it sit overnight. The trick is to make sure the glue has turned from white to clear, it holds much better when clear. Place to clumps of foilage to each limb and apply pressure to to for a few seconds. Mine have stayed in place for over a year in some cases. If it starts looking like it will fall off, just apply pressure to the clumbs and limb. <br />Another way I've found to work is hot glue. put a small amount of hot glue on the clump and place it on the limb. Just make sure the temp is a medium heat so it wont melt the plastic.
