That seems like it would turn into big clumps that you'd have difficulty getting to lay down nicely. The first method he mentions on his blog (I guess this is the traditional way) worked okay for me. The trick is really in soaking everything with water and dish soap BEFORE any glue gets put on (for years I confused the glue and 'wet water' steps as one application, but its two passes). Once I've done it this way it works well. Make sure you soak the ballast with lots of water and dish soap however, you want the water to penetrate all the way through the ballast so that the glue will also seep down to the ground.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.com
