Wish I stumbled upon and read this thread a couple of months ago when I bought some large bags of lichen at my LHS, put it on my layout and now it has dried out and crumbles when I move or touch it.
Seems like applying a glycerin mist is a solution for avoiding having the lichen dry out, which is what I'll do if and when I put more fresh lichen on the layout.
Question: if the lichen has already dried out, will a glycerin mist restore it so it regains its softness and pliability and pleasant fragrance?
What about going in the other direction? If one is sure that the already dried out lichen is in the correct place and looks good on the layout, what about misting it with spray glue to make it harder so it won't crumble?
Not sure if this old thread is under Scenery & Structures, but that is where it belongs.
