INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make contour area with newspaper wads. Tape to a piece of cardboard
(Fig. 1).
2. Cut a piece of ReadyGrass Vinyl Mat that is greater than the area you want
to cover, leaving plenty of room to cover top, both sides and flange (Fig.
2).
TIP: The higher the hill the larger the piece. It is better to have a piece that
is too big, than one that is too small. If you don't have enough mat, just
remove some paper wads and reform.
3. Lay mat over the newspaper wads (Fig. 3).
TIP: Cover the back of the mat with Mat Adhesive (RG5161), so it will adhere
to the newspaper wads and make forming the mat easier.
4. Be sure to wear the enclosed glove on the opposite hand from the Heat
Gun.
5. Turn gun "ON" ( O ).
6. Hold Heat Gun a few inches away from mat. Move the gun slowly, to mold
the mat over the newspaper wads (Fig. 4).
7. Turn gun "OFF" ( – ).
8. Remove the cardboard and trim the hill, leaving at least a 1 inch flange for
attaching to mat (Fig. 5).
9. Set in place and finish with landscape (Fig. 6).
For your convenience we have a Landscape Kit (RG5152) and Tree Kit
(RG5154) available. For best results use these kits to enhance your mat.
These products work together to blend with the mat and conceal any
imperfections. They add realism!
