Fluesheet's Shelf Layout

[Fluesheet]

Thanks for the feedback Dave. I've found what you've implied - the acrylic "wax" (it's not really a wax) seems to wick into some ballasts better than others. In the future (no pun intended), I may wet the ballast with wet water to facilitate the application of the Future. I did attempt to do the same with alcohol the other night, and that didn't seem to get along with either the ballast (discolored it) nor the acrylic floor wax. I'm sure somebody here can tell me why that is.

As an aside, the alcohol didn't wick well either - I suspect my suspicion of the fineness of some of this cinder ballast effectively fouled the ballast and wouldn't allow it to "drain". A problem faced by the real thing!
