Did a trial on a small section

Response to make a glue wash

Hi,

And I am now waiting for it to dry. Seems to work.

Some interesting thing I could see, the ballast did not absorb the dilluted glue. It remained in blobs, probably a matter of liquid surface tension. But if you wet first the ballast with water, then the dilluted glue is spread easily by capilarity. As I prepared a very small qty of glue for a trial, I thought it was exagerate to put one drop of washing fluid, as I have seen in youtube (by the way a nice source of tutorials) that one drop is sufficient for one big can of mixture. I think the washing fluid avoids this liquid surface tension problem and allows the mix to flow, in a simmilar manner people use some alcohol to dillute water-based paints trying to avoid this "tendence to form drops" tendence. IŽll check when I go for the big surface pending.

Many thanks to all for your advices! Ian I am trying to answer you on email but something does not work on my side

Kind regards
Nacho Roces
