Having a hard time gluing down my ballast it seems. I spent a good deal of time getting it to look how I wanted and decided to give it the water/detergent spray and then some glue. The water mix seems to be working fine as far as not messing anything up too much but no matter how much I seem to spray I still get the glue pulling the ballast back onto the rail ties and just generally making a mess. I'm using woodland scenics scenic cement, and when my bottles empty plan on diluting some white glue to use. I'm I not. Spraying enough of my detergent water? Just is a hassle, I spend so much time getting the ballast off of the ties and the glue wants to bring it right back.
