    I have one of those tennis racket bug zappers. So I am going to make a static grass applicator. Thats the easy part. I want to buy some 6mm and some 12 mm static grass. So online shopping for this stuff is sort of a guessing game. Only Noch on their website specifically notes the mm size and carries several. At a couple mail order sites, they don't really say and I don't know a retailer who carries all of the noch line. Is all WS flock grass 2.5 mm? My lawn is taller than that. Maybe I am missing something. Where do I buy 6mm and 12 mm static grass? I am modeling in HO scale. 6 mm is about 2 feet and the height where I begin to think about mowing the back lot. 12 mm is just about 4 feet. When the county decides to mow the ditches. I was going to order some and totally failed.

    Oops, I missed it. SE has them categorized by size. That helps a lot I think.

    Scenic express let them do the importing they have all the brands and products with quick service. Not sure if I'm violating rules here, but they are the sole US impoter for most of this. So they are wholesaler and reseller.

    It appears some things are cheaper from Europe. Which makes no sense at all. I know nothing about duties and other fees if any. So far no issues ordering some items from China. But I do prefer buying from somebody here. I ordered some of those neodymium magnets so I can do away with the big ramp magnets on some sidings. Scenic express it is.
