As the title sys I don't know if I layer it on with a brush/sculpting tool etc.

A small palette knife is best with a toothpick or similar handy to poke it into small gaps if necessary.
-
I use the pallet knife that looks like a miniature trowel at the business end. It is great for putting any basing material where I want it.
-
So o brushes then...suddenly I regret not packing any of my numerous sculpting tools for uni, apart from toothpicks anything else work cheao? I don't fancy buying any more tools and transporting them over jow would cost as much as buying them new.
-
Any old butter knife should do in a pinch I'd figure.
-
A wooden coffee stirrer would do.
-
Agree - wooden coffee stirrer or flat needle file (I use one that only has abrasive surfaces on the thin edges and is flat on both broad sides - don't have a use for it otherwise).

Great suggrstions, now how does it dry? Smooth? cracked? lumpy?

It really depends on what tool you use. For example use a whisk and it will come up light and fluffy like a meringue. :)

That's useful, I just need a smooth texture really, I used to use greenstuff but I find that takes too long.
-
I have never used that product, but my guess is based on the label it'll dry without cracks if used as is. For an even smoother finish add water. Best advice i can give is is experiment.

Alternatively a garlic press gives a nice grass effect. ;)
I haven't tried a melon baller yet though. :)

I assume using a blender is right out? That should be for making clump foliage. :D
-
I assume it's similar to a standard DIY filler? I've been using that for many years.

Exactly, we are on the same wavelength here. ;) lol
