The second was simply to spray the trunks a few times with a white coat. This seems to be work but I do need to get something that is a bit more of a mucky white.
Once that was done and the paint dry, the trunks were sprayed with sticky glue and then covered with lengths of chopped up sisal string as the base to which foliage can be attached.
Finally once that had set, another coat of spray glue and then a generous coat of foliage.
And so the first 2 trees are in place, of about the 40/50 silver birch needed
I also have to do around 100 other trees for which I need to paint the trunks and sisal string brown so a trip to B&Q or Hobbycraft to find a decent colour will be done at some point in the future, along with also trying Atsos suggestion to use super glue and talc.
