I make a line of white glue along the top of the outsides of the ties, then using an artists stiff bristle brush and repeated dippings into a glass of water, scrub the solution into ties and side of roadbed. Sprinkle on dry ballast from a spoon and before it dries use finger to rub off tops of ties just leaving them exposed. The center is filled with dry ballast and then using a soft bristle brush move ballast to fill in between ties and not cover tops of ties. Dribble the aforementioned glue on to this area. You may also dribble some over the outside edges also. Minimal cleaning of rails after dry as you will get a little glue on tops. It is still a painstaking job but one that must be done.
