Rescuing flexible walling

I bought some N gauge flexible hedges and walling.  They are strips of a sponge like material covered in flock.  The hedges look great, the fact that some flock fell off in the bag enhances, because you can see the sponge and it looks like the branches/twigs showing through the leaves.  Obviously with the walls this is a problem.

I tried PVA and tipping the sheddings back on, but it is difficult to apply the glue evenly.

Any thoughts?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I never had problems with mine, so haven't tried it, but if you are basing it, you could glue some lichen against the damaged parts to look like shrub growing against it.


here are mine, from javis scenery:

I've sealed the hedges, its the fact the walls came out the bag with gaps- its not preventing, it's repairing.

Could you fix the walls with filler? The fact that the walls won't look homogeneous could be very attractive realistic.

Would rubber sealant work?
That's going in the clean punchline/dirty joke thread.

Must be a bad bag, because i have had mine since '13 and they have shed some flock, but no noticable gaps.(or, i just didn't notice)
