I want to Ballast my track. Can I put Scenic Glue over my Track-Bed to adhere it?
We recommend using Scenic Cement rather than Scenic Glue because the Ballast will lay more evenly and be better secured.
Apply Ballast onto track and brush from rails and top of ties. Mist adhesive over Ballast to wet the surface, and then saturate it for a strong bond using an eyedropper or the Scenic Sprayer. Clean rails before use.
Generally, what is the difference between Ballast and Talus?
Ballast is placed along the railroad track to model actual ballast that holds track in place.
Talus is used to model rock debris under rock outcroppings, rocky hillsides or embankments.
I used Scenic Cement to apply my Ballast, and now I need to disassemble my layout and move it. How do I release the Ballast from the track?
To remove Ballast from the track, soften the Scenic Cement with warm, soapy water. If the glue is hard to remove, use denatured alcohol.
I am having a problem with the ballast adhering to the Track-Bed.
You should have no problem adhering Ballast to your Track-Bed with this tested method.
1. Pour Ballast over track. Brush from rails and tops of ties.
2. Mist with Scenic Cement to wet the surface, and then saturate Ballast using an eyedropper or Scenic Sprayer.
3. Clean rails before use.
I am building the Grand Valley Layout Kit and the instructions say to use ""wet water"" with Ballast. On YouTube I found a Woodland video on how to adhere Ballast and it said not to use ""wet water"" or it will interfere with the adhesion. Which is correct?
Both are correct. The Scenic Cement that is included with the Grand Valley Layout Kit is a concentrated formula and does not contain the wetting agent that regular Scenic Cement does. This is why the Grand Valley (and other Layout Kits) instructions state to mist Ballast with ""wet water"" before applying the Scenic Cement.
