What is the best way to lay ballast

After spreading ballast and then tapping the railheads with the handle of the brush I am speading it with,(it knocks ballast of the top of the ties, and "settles the high spots), I use an old Elmers bottle to slowly drip my glue/wetwater mix into the ballast. After things get wet enough (2nd or 3rd pass) I open the bottle top a little more and let it flow faster. Yeah, its slow, but it works!
