Well whatever yer using aint what I was using on my portable, or on the layout I saw the yellowed ballast on then.
It could just depend on which brand your using and whats in it, cant speak for the other layout guys, but I have a big bottle of yellow carpenters glue from Home Despot.
Have fun with your trains

WS sprayer: The nozzle head does fit the large bottles of Scenic Cement, it's just that the tube is extra long. Cut it down. Also, the nozzle head is adjustable; at least the one I have is. All that being said, I tried the sprayer head on the bottle for a test on some scrap material and was way less than impressed with the workings of it. I use an ear syringe to drizzle on the Scenic Cement. It's larger than an eye dropper and you don't have to worry about the rubber squeeze bulb on the eye dropper coming off (I had that happen to me) and getting cement where you don't want or need it.
For those that mix the soap in with their glue mix, does that mean you don't spray with wet water or alcohol? That would be great for working in tight areas.

In reference to using the yellow (alphetic resin) glue, if you do read Selector's origional post of the dilution ratio you will find that thinned that much will not allow any discoloration. The yellow carpenter's glue is much stonger than the straight white and can be thinned to the 6-8:1.
I do personally use it for framework and substrate bonds and still perfer white or matte medium for scenery though.
