AK8261 represents yellowish lichen on tree bark, stone, buildings and abandoned surfaces. Its loose flakes create the crust-like scenic detail first; once the application is dry, an enamel or oil wash can be worked over it to shift emphasis and settle the lichen into surrounding weathering. The wash stage is therefore a finishing option rather than the adhesive step, and AK gives no fixed drying-time figure before it.
Composition stated by AK: synthetic
Intended for 25 mm and 35 mm figures as well as larger scales
Manufacturer classifications: lichen, diorama and vegetation

Notes · Q & A
What do tuft sizes like 2mm, 4mm and 6mm mean?+
That's the grass fibre length. 2mm suits small bases and subtle ground cover, 4–6mm reads as fuller vegetation on 28–32mm miniature bases.
Are tufts self-adhesive?+
Most modern tufts peel off their sheet with adhesive on the underside — press onto the base, no glue needed. Loose static grass is applied over PVA instead.
How do I apply static grass?+
Brush PVA where you want grass, sprinkle or use an applicator, then tip off the excess once dry. An applicator makes fibres stand upright for a more natural look.
