Hi Mark,
Glad to hear everything went well, and you'll soon be home.
As far as your ballast issue, maybe I'll pass on your help to do my ballast work. The offer to visit still stands along with the inspirational tours to my friend's layout.

hon30critterHi Mark, Without wishing to rub salt in your recent wound, I would suggest that using diluted glue might have been a false economy. Is the risk worth the savings? Dave

Sorry Mark, I shouldn't have assumed that you were trying to save money. I agree that spreading full strength glue is a pain.
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

I've finished the refinery track ballasting, and had no additional problems with track and cork lifting away from the base. Just to be sure, I weighted each newly-ballasted section until it dried for about 24 hours:
The oil loading tracks are now finished, at least until I extend the benchwork and add another couple of cars worth of tracks and loading racks.
