QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse I'm not sure what the underbrush grind is. My foliage is woodland scenics clump foliage. As much as I try, I cant.t keep my kids off of it. It holds up remarkably will with just the base glued down.

QUOTE: Originally posted by egmurphy The woodland scenic clump foliage (which is what I'm using too) comes in two "grinds", "underbrush" and "bushes". The bush grind seems to be larger lumps, or at least more solid. The underbrush grind seems to be (at least in the stuff I have) more broken down, so that when you pick up a bit it seems to fall apart more. Thanks for relating that. Glad to hear that it can hold up okay. I was not looking forward to going back over all that stuff again. Ed

QUOTE: Originally posted by egmurphy Timely topic for me, I'm just starting with clump foliage. I'm not covering as vertical an area as the original poster, nor am I covering the area as completely, as I'm trying to give the impression of scattered shrubs. But I do have a question that hopefully one of you can help with. I'm currently just using white glue to stick the pieces in place (on top of the ground foam ground cover, previously applied). But the clump foliage chunks seem to break apart very easily (I'm using the "underbrush" grind). So although the base of the clump is probably fastened okay, I'm wondering if I'll have problems with the upper parts coming loose. Do I need to go back and wet the clumps and drizzle on a thin mix of glue/water? Thanks Ed
