Ash ballast-are there any risks?
#3
I have used wood ash from a wood stove for gravel roads in N scale. I glue down a gravel base using a 50/50 mix of white glue and water. After that dries I sprinkle on the wood ashes and grind them in by rubbing around on them with my finger, this gives me the color and makes the gravel smoother which looks better in my tiny scale. I agree with Ralph that gluing down the ashes would probably make a muddy mess and the ashes are probably to fine for anything other than Z scale ballast.
