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.”
