There have been countless debates over how to get the static in static grass.
PVC pipes and silk ties
Styrene soda bottles and baloons
hair dryers
on and on ....

Now here a tool that 'might' work GrassMaster Sorry no direct image, not sure if I should. Its an electronic devices that you load with grass and shake on the ground work. Very interesting concept - but holy shnikies - $116

From the title, I though I was checking my emails.

Reading the price, I feel even more violated.

I'll stick with my empty Kraft Parmesan Cheese shaker. $2.99 with 8oz of 100% grated parmesan cheese and no fillers included.

all these gizmos can be very pricey ,,, my simple cheep and very shareable method is to get an empty washing up liquid bottle from the wife ,,,, hahahaha my other half hasnt washed a bloody dish in years , my punishment for making models ,,,, any way fill your clean and dry bottle with your favoured static grass ,,, aply your white glue to areas which need to be grassed ,,, hold your loaded bottle , pointing in the general direction and squeeze the hell out of the bottle ,, tip it back up right to un block ,, and start again ,,,, shooting the grass in this matter seems to work a treat for me ,,, hope this helps ..

Personally,I have enough problems explaining to my wife what I spend on my hobby.
If she ever found out I had spent that much to make fake grass stand up she would have me comitted and divorced.
I'll stick to the balloon and I also use compressed air for computer cleaning.
What's next?
A three hundred dollar glue diluter?
