I have recently made a bunch of HO trees from Woodlands Scenics plastic amatures and ground foam clump foliage. I followed the instructions on the pack and used the glue that was included (after letting it dry for the specified period). <br />The trees are not permanently planted on the layout yet but are sitting in temporary locations. The problem is, they keep dropping lumps of foliage off. This is spread over quite a long time, so it is not just an initial shedding of foliage. On closer inspection you can see the clumps slowly coming away from the armature with the glue sort of stretching until it lets go. I have tried fixing the foliage by spraying them with diluted white glue, but this is a disaster as is a spray of 'hair spray'. This makes it all fall off almost immediately. <br />Does anyone know what to use to fix this foliage permanently to the tree armature?
