Ed D.,
I'm on the bandwagon with Alex and Bob. On the layout I help with, we use a
50/50 mixture of glue and water. First, we use wet water (others use matte
medium or Hodge Podge [sp? from the crafts section of Wal-Mart, Michaels,
etc.]) and soak it good. Then we use spray bottles with the glue mixture and
soak it good again. Make sure to wipe off the rails afterwards! We lay the
rails first, then do the ballast, which would be similar to those that use
flex-track. Our bottles are Clairol something or other. I'll be back there
Sunday night if you are curious, but it was basically whatever his wife had
used and he scavanged. I've wondered if Windex or 409 bottles would work just
as well.
To be honest, I can't remember what we do for ground cover. In one area, we
did pour on a ground-colored paint and then dumped on ground cover. On the
others, I think we used the glue mixture. The only bottles laying around the
layout are for wet water, glue mixture, and india ink solution, and I know we
didn't use 100% glue.
Since it sounds like you are just doing ground cover and not ballast like I
referenced earlier, make sure you cover up your track first.
