Well I guess that answers the question "Does anybody know how to make a static grass applicator" Yes, it can be done and has been done. Although the procedure is not laid out step by step. But the question now is, is it worth the work building it? The chance of it not working as well, if at all, as the Noch product. And the very real possibility of physical harm? In that respect it is very much worth the money. Then again, if you have the experience and know how to work safely with high voltage, have the parts on hand, confidence in your skills and plenty of time, only you know if it's worth a try. At least you could learn something. We all like to get the most bang for our buck. Yes it is a nice tool and it does a great job doing what it’s supposed to and it cost a lot less than it use to. I think what underlying question that started this subject is what else will my $125 buy (tool with shipping)? Better or more turnouts? A few more decoders? A locomotive? We probably already spent at least a couple hundred bucks for a good starter DCC system. A few hundred dollars, maybe more, for locomotives with sound decoders. Track, turnouts, switch machines, structures, scenery supplies, ect., it all adds up. I supose it's hard for some of us to swallow buying a tool we most likely only use for a short time. Especially if a guy has to justify his spending money on his hobby to his wife, if not to himself. Maybe there's another solution. Perhaps a few friends can chip in to buy one and share it (but then, who gets to keep it?). Resell it on eBay? Start a new career building layouts?
