Mud mix

I sprinkled some brown ground covering around the bases of the trees to help hide where they have been glued down to the tiles.

Then I made a mix of Matte Mod Podge, Water and washing up liquid.  Basically about 1 part Mod Podge to 4 Parts water with a few drops of washing up liquid to help break down the surface tension of the mixture.

I then applied the mix with a cheap pipette and allowed it to soak into the mixture before leaving it dry, which takes quite a long time.

Now I must admit this was not 100% successful.

I found that lots of the ground covering moved and was washed out of place as I applied the glue mixture.  In hindsight, I would recommend gently spraying on a mist of isopropanol alcohol to keep everything in place whilst applying the glue and to also aid in further breaking down the surface tension.

I also found that some of the roots actually lifted and had to be glued back down.

It is not too much of an issue, as I have a lot of leaf litter to apply that will help cover any unsightly bits.
