Ummm.... bury it, jump on it, sit on it, swim in it.... real dirt / dust works just as well as Fuller's Earth too and its easier to apply. If you just throw Fullers Earth at the hat it will go on in too concentrated a way, unless you have enough quantity to cover the entire hat in one go.
Real dirt works best for longest IMHO:
