Yeah, don't spray directly at the surface, aim high or paralel to the ground and let it fall like rain as Phoebe Vet said.

So true, Most times when applying the wetting agent, I'll allow it to lightly rain down on the surface, once wet the spray can be directed more toward the surface. Spraying directly at the scenery material will scatter even most ballast let alone ground foam.

In water-soluble scenery methods, usually the mister is used to apply a wetting agent (such as water with a little alcohol or a drop of liquid soap added to reduce surface tension), not glue. A plant mister works great for this, or an empty Windex bottle. I use a Sharpie permanent marker to write on the bottle "Wet Water" or "Alc/Water" so I know its contents.
Some people use straight 70% isopropyl alcohol applied with an eyedropper or squeeze bottle instead of a mist, for ballast, etc.
After the wetting step, thinned white glue or matte medium is applied. For this, I use an old Elmer's glue bottle or an old small bottle that liquid dish soap came in. With either one, you can dribble on the glue to the wet scenic material. Others use a jar and an eyedropper--it's a matter of how much control you want. A full Elmer's bottle may apply too much glue in some cases and cause the scenery materials to run. Try filling the bottle only 1/2 or 1/3 full.
