If you following this story welcome....

Well after my disastrous attempts at fixing the clump foliage using PVA glue as reported in the last post I finally found a way to fix the hedges.

A quick trip to B&Q (large DIY chain) revealed all sorts of wonderful glues, wanting to make sure that the product dried clear I picked up this product.

Its called Glue & Fix and is manufactured by Bostik

It flows from the tube like a liquid toothpaste and certainly does the job. Not only has it fixed the clumps to the battens is seems to be holding the firm. I would recommend however that this is done outside as the product somewhat stinks.

So in the space of about an hour nearly four metres of hedges were finished. I still sprayed scenic cement over the top to be sure.

All finished !

 

The edges were then dry brushed browns to finish them off.

A clue to my next project ? (maybe)

Up next are the corners and t junctions required. These have been finished in exactly the same way.

Finally I’ll be making some gate sections

Until next time

A happy Eric
