@chizzlification LOL indeed! Bill's a chemist so first time I heard his reference to "wet water" I had a similar reaction! Turns out "wet water" is actually "wetter" than regular water in that it allows for easier absorption. Add one drop of liquid dish detergent to about 32 ozs. of tap water. This reduces the surface tension of the water molecules so the water is not as "hard." Similar to why objects float better in sudsy water than plain. Learn something new every day, don't ya!
Yes! All materials including ground covers do adhere once the fibre is dry. Just follow the steps: 1) Spread fibre mixture 2) Apply scenic materials 3) Mist all with Wet Water (mixture of 2 drops dish detergent to 1 qt. Water) It could take a few days for the whole scene to dry completely. And, all wil stay in place. When dry, bond is strong enough to hold all foam, foliage and deadfall. But, if you want to, you can rewet an area and remove foliage, etc.
I did notice an error... The car used to make the tire tracks was a noticeably larger scale than the building. Now wouldn't that seem unrealistic? I'm just sayin', that's all.
wet water? as opposed to dry water? lol

Hi there,
How much will a bulk bag cover? (Medium)

@TankT0Tank
The BULK Bag covers 30-40 sq. ft. depending on how thickly the scenery base is spread.

Will all the meterials like the ground foam still stay in place on top since there isnt any cement used? How strong is the bond?

Other than that, good video.

Thank you for your comment and you're right. Building is 1/48 and vehicle is 1/43. Difficult to find vehicles in 1/48!Good eye!
