I would probably err on the side of minimal use of your track gauges for such ballast work Greg as they are accurately engineered measuring devices and any wear will ruin their accuracy and purpose.
Can I suggest that you get some cheap plastic plaster spatulas or a similar size of plastic and using your track gauge as a template to draw the required notches and then cut them out using a dremel tool. This tool can then be used along side a small cheap household paintbrush to spread the ballast.
