It never would have occurred to me that there wasn't a standard positive and negative wiring convention. Thanks for waking me up!

Surprise surprise.

It’s so great to see regular updates. I considered using a walwort from my collection but decided to go with the WS one. I never in a million years would have thought to check the polarity. Brilliant!

Thank you.

Hi guys. You Tube completely dropped the ball in regards putting out a notification. Surprise, right! I agree with an applicator being more powerful and doing the job it was intended to do with a wall plug. Thanks for proving the point for us. Merry Christmas to you, your family, friends, and fans. I look forward to more content in 2023. Take care. See ya.

Thanks for checking in with us. Merry Christmas.

Glad to see I'm not the only one having poor static grass efforts. Will have to see if I can add a power cord to my applicator.

Thanks Bob.

I was shocked to learn that wall warts are the opposite polarity to the Static King. I have heard that vacuuming the grass after installation is part of the process to make the grass stand up and not just to clean up the loose stuff when you’re done. Disclaimer; I have not done Static grass myself. Lol.

Thanks for the tip. Makes sense to me.

I had one and even with the power supply never got contestant coverage, sold it. Bought a flocking box which has a more ion generator works better with all sizes of grasses . In December issue of Model Railroader I did an article of making static grass mats with it. happy Turkey Day!

Good to know. We'll see how it works when we really start putting it to use.

I swear Woodland Scenics does that on purpose, so they can charge you way more for the wall wart. I did the same thing you did with a way cheaper wall wart and it works fine.

Glad to hear I am not the only one that has done that.

I wondered when you guys were gonna start grassing all that real estate. Coincidentally, I only just bought myself a static grass applicator last week (cheap one, China...don't judge 😆). It just has the batteries, no option for a wall wart, but seems to work ok...at least with 2mm grass (the only grass I have, lol). Like yourself, I am also new to the world of static grass application. I was a good boy and upped that thumb when ya told us to. 😂
