2 months ago the only experience I had with ballast was onboard ship. Didn't even know the rocks/gravel that make up the roadbed were called ballast. However, everything I have read up to this point said pre-wetting (not pre-soaking) was strongly recommended. In the future I will use less "soaking" and more "wetting". As for the current situation the 50/50 white glue and water worked fine and the ballast is now securely fasten. Between the "soaking" and the more diluted glue mixture used before there just was not enough glue left to do the job. Thanks for the help. Jim
