Cementing Earth Base For Grass On Layout

October 7, 2009

Here is your chance to help others in the hobby. A reader is hoping to hear from anyone who has experience using a sprayer to distribute cement and asks:

I have been a work cementing down the ‘earth material’ as my base for the grass that I will be laying on top for my layout. However, the directions on the cement state that I need to use a sprayer to distribute the cement over the earth material so I can sprinkle the grass material on top.

I bought the sprayer and it sprays a nice fine mist when I tested it out with water but the cement does not come out as nice, even when mixed with water.

I am using the earth and grass materials because it was cheaper than using the grass mat you can buy. Now I know why it is cheaper!

It is very tedious work and wondered if anyone has any suggestions that might make this process a little easier.
