You have to thoroughly wet the ballast with wet water - and I mean thoroughly - before you apply the white glue and water mixture. And if the mixture is off (not 50/50 like you thought, but more like 30/70% glue and water, you'll have problems with the ballast). Use a very large eye dropper with the glue/water or one of the old glue bottles. Spray more before adding the glue/water mixture if it starts to dry out. Your ballast can't be too wet, but it can be too dry - then more problems.
