Bob;
That’s a great looking hill. I have two questions... what is the white material you covered the foam with and what do you use to keep the “grass” on the hill???
Thanks.
Hey Paul,
The white material is Low Loft Batting. It is used for making quilts and can purchased at any craft store or on line. It is bonded to the insulation foam using Matt Medium but Elmer's glue will probably work as well. Generously coat the foam with either the Matt medium or Elmer's glue and gently press the batting down with your fingers (I suggest using some type of latex gloves). Once the glue is dried (usually over night) you coat the batting with any cheap latex paint preferably in medium to dark brown. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle on your favorite flavor of fine ground foam on and let it dry. Here's a link to guy that I got the information from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C6aHEoUWYg&t=21s Very easy to work with. Hope this helps.
Merry Christmas,
