Good Morning All: Tis cold here only 49 degrees but clear with a hint of rain. If it doesn't rain it'll miss a good chance. John: The Sassi book that I was talking about is "A Realistic HO Layout for Beginners". The number is "ISBN:0-89024-214-3". I found out that if I was going to save on ground foam and put the paint down first and then put the foam down, the paint had to be VERY thick as it dried too fast and the adhesion to the foam wasn't very good if it was a light coat. You waist more foam by putting it down first and using diluted white glue, but you get better adhesion. I never could get enough paint from a spray can to make the foam stick. Now I use the paint just to change the color. I spray the diluted white glue with an old windex bottle. Since ash is so "flighty" you might have to do an "mist overspray". GOOD LUCK. I just thought about this, spray on a heavy coat of dil. white glue and then dust the foam on. I wish I'd thought about that when I had all of the stuff out. By sifting the foam on after the adhesive is down you can vacuum the overage up and use it again. I have a Black and Decker hand vacuum and it's nice around the layout because it's so easy to see what was vacuumed up when you put it in the trash. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
