I never use a spray bottle when ballasting. The only time I use one is when doing a large area. I just have to not be lazy and move motive power and rolling stock off the area I'm working on.

Well, I do remove my rolling stock and engines (and vehicles and structures, too) but my simplest trick for neat, no-overspray wet water is to use a pipette, never a spray bottle. Application is much tidier and more precise. This is even more effective when ballasting, where you don't need to cover a wide area, just a narrow strip.

Little Timmy You just "discovered" my secret to duplicating bird poo on old, or neglected rollingstock. ( something I "discovered by accident myself .)

Yup, just don't forget to cover your windows with tape.

Nice simple fix.

I will keep this information filed away. Hopefully I remember it if I ever have this issue.

Living the dream.
When working on scenery, move rolling stock before proceeding. I use rubbing alcohol as a wetting agent. Sometimes, you don't move rolling stock before spraying and you get resulting white spots. To fix, brush the dust off the roof, then respray with Dullcote.
