Haha, thanks Ginger! In all fairness, I have to say, he taught me how to remound. This video just shows the basic steps of the process. After the initial wrapping, you can add individual strands on the outside to create the shape you like. The ones he does for shows or judging are very nice. I don't do the dry moss either. It looks easy when he does it but with my smaller hands, I can not hold the moss in place as well when it's dry. Soaking can definitely make it messy. Instead of soaking, you can try spraying several layers of moss with one of those gallon sprayers. After you spray, let it sit for a few minutes and it should be the perfect amount of wetness to work with. The whole process is easiest when the moss is not too dry and not too wet. If you soak and squeeze out the excess water, sometimes it breaks some strands of moss.

Thank you so much see I knew you had some tips that would help me out. It all makes sense to me now; I had reached the point the remounting was a major headache. This is a hobby it should be fun. I am going to remount one of my mossy plants tomorrow using your suggestion.
