Gents,
Our entire railroad is ballasted using various brands of floor wax. The
original Future is no longer available. We now use Lundmark All-Wax Floor Wax,
purchased from Ace. All one needs to do is spray a little water/detergent to
wet down the ballast, then flow the wax on with an eyedropper/ear-flushing
bulb. Sometimes, you can even spray the wax on if you don't have scenery
completed in the vicinity. Faster than white glue and far easier to apply.
Might leave a little gloss on the ties, but you won't notice it, or even care
if you do, because, by gum, you got all of your track ballasted instead of
putting it off.
I don't want this to sound overly opinionated, but I do think of white glue in
the same way I think of ground foam: both have produced acceptable results for
many decades, but they are now obsolescent ways of doing things.
Static grass is to ground foam as ground foam was to colored sawdust in the
1970s.
