Woodland Scenics FS639 Static King, Black

I have been using a battery power static grass applicator with mixed results. Beside not have enough power to really do what it's supposed to, it is very easy to get shocked, especially if you don't ground it when done. Believe me, even though it's only 9V, the amperage is high enough to make it very unpleasant to get shocked. I had read that the Woodland Scenics Static King is pretty much the "go to" one to get. I elected to also purchase the power supply transformer instead of relying on battery power. The static king includes fine and coarse screens, as well as a removable divider and combo fine/coarse screen to apply 2 sizes of grass simultaneously. It also included some pretty nice instructions that even have color pictures in addition to diagrams and written instructions. In use, it does take some practice so I recommend trying it out on some scrap material to develop a technique. For most of my areas that I am applying the grass, I utilize a small stiff brass rod instead of the large 4 prong grounding piece. The hopper is large and the unit self-discharges when done so very low risk of getting shocked. One observation I've had in use is to use Woodland Scenics grass. Other brands of grass don't seem to work as well, at least not for me. I also use Mod Podge for the adhesive instead of the Woodland Scenics adhesive, which like most of their other products, are horribly overpriced. Still, this is a high quality item and works quite well.

The result is very good when paired with its 12V power supply.

Works well but only with the external power. Also, for my diorama work it’s to large to get into tight areas

Hubby uses this to flick antlers in his taxidermy business. Its cheap but works decently until he can get a better one.

The 9 volt battery function is totally inadequate! When using the power cord it is not much better in terms of the percentage of grass that will actually stand up. The SMALL percentage of grass that hits the glue in a vertical position is easily weighted down by the load of grass that is not statically charged. When you remove the grass that is not glued you have a thatch look at best. Not a patch of standing grass.

Used for the first time after seeing it in hobby stores or more exact seeing grass bags. It was really easy to use. Just grab your vacuum and use paper towel and float over after to pick up excess and drop in the container again. It made nice realistic upright simulated grass..yeah pricey but worth as it's the better rated of all others.

Muy buen producto, ideal para dioramas, lo recomiendo 100%

If you're experiencing issues with this product, make sure to use a proper AC converter. It worked perfectly for me after using the correct power source.

El aplicador de hierba estática es bastante caro, contando que hay que comprar el adaptador de corriente par sacar todo el potencial que con las pilas no se consigue. Pero una vez en uso es increíble, coloca las fibras totalmente verticales desde los 3mm hasta los 9mm. Muy recomendable

Muy muy bueno, probè antes uno de los mas baratos y es un mundo de diferencia, totalmente recomendado. No lo probè con baterìa ya que me conseguì el cable de poder, cosa que recomiendo tambien ya que cualquier baterìa no da la carga suficiente para algo asì

sucks when you dont use the wall plug but when you do it works very well and worth the money just the plug is seperate and very expensive. wish the plug was included at that price point.

The container works very well. I’m sure the more you use it the better it will be. Be very careful not to put your fingers/hand into the container to mix up the grasses whilst it is switched on . I got a huge electrical shock even though the power is via a transformer .

bien mais peut mieux faire
