Ballasting Tip from Mike
Mike writes:
“This is not really a question but a great tip. I stumbled on a video showing a very fast, easy ballasting technique. Ballast mixed with DAP WELDWOOD PLASTIC RESIN GLUE. It is a dry glue mixed with the ballast at a 2 part ballast 1 part glue. Once you have the ballast where you want it, mist it, not spray, use a mister commonly found at Optometrists or in the pharmacy dept. A spray bottle, puts too much water out, mister is great but you still need to keep you distance. WET WATER is used in the mister, I use a drop of dish liquid and about 4 oz of water. Wipe your tracks and come back tomorrow!! The same concept works on ground foam as well.”
