I was checking on a section of track that I ballasted yesterday and I found that the glue had only penetrated the top 1/8" of ballast. The rest that was underneath it was loose. How do I fix this? Am I just using too much ballast and not enough glue? I admit that I think I should be using less ballast, but when I do use less, it doesn't seem to cover the cork. Should I wet the cork and track with water with a tiny bit of glue, say maybe 5:1 water to glue before spreading the ballast and then thoroughly wet the ballast and driibble on 1:1 water to glue mix? <br />Thanks, <br />Reed
