I use 50/50 white glue/water for sticking flock, sand and similar down -
works better than paint does. For really bombproof coverage (I use this
on
my hills) paint glue/water mix onto the surface, cover in flock, let
this
sit for a couple of minutes. Then gently tap the excess flock off and,
using an eyedropper or similar, soak the whole thing in glue/water mix
again and let it dry overnight.

The flock comes out as tough as sandpaper, but it still looks like
grass.
Same thing for sand and small gravel.
