I have a good sized train layout that I need to move and lean up against a wall b/c I need to make space. When I put the grass (powder kind) I was too young to think about glueing it down. I tried craft spray glue, but the pressure just pushes the grass around. If I move the can back it isnt effective either. Is there any other trick I could use to get my loose grass to stick? or a different way to use spray glue maybe?

Ooops... building a railroad is always a game of trial and error !!
I would suggest sweeping the grass up, then using glue !
I use dilluted acrylic-medium as the glue.
I have ALSO used hair-spray AFTER to help hold grass and turf down.
Always make sure to mask off your track !!

I would suggest trying regular Elmer's glue, but try it on a smaller piece of the material that you are using on the layout.
