I already use a grass bath (a {very} old tobacco tin) to sprinkle on the grass.  The common theme seems to be PVA so evidently that should be the next stage.    I am just wondering how to apply it without disturbing the existing flock!  A watered down solution is a very interesting tip as it should then flow easily.

The other option that looks interesting is the application of matt varnish to the whole base and figure for protection.

On the spray varnish front - a little and repeat - do not be tempted to over spray, for that path leads to disaster my son!
