Basing infantry

Hey, guys,
What do you use for basing your infantry stands? I used to use DAS modeling clay, but I have no clue if they've got that here. I've also heard of spakle and pumice gel, but again, I'm not sure where I can find that here and what name it goes by.

I used white glue (PVA) with some sand and some torn up pieces of cork for my Brits. When I have time I am going to go over the bases with some flock and static grass.

Tokyu Hands in Mei-eki (Takashimaya) or Hisayaodori.
Their craft section contains just about everything you could ever need for wargaming except the models themselves. (Paints, brushes, sprays, glue, resin, polystyrene etc etc etc).

I recommend these "sticker" pieces of static grass you can buy from the railroad floor in Joshin for 1200 yen. Fantastic stuff. Pluck a patch out with tweazers, a blub of glue and set it down. It looks great for 1/100 scale as tall grass and would probably be good for 1/28 40k stuff, too.

I'm really didn't, but the directions said to add a bit of glue to to each "sticker". It adhered well and no problem since. Hasn't even loss any strands.
