Ballasting

 The tools needed for this part of the process are quite simple.
A screw top jar to mix the adhesive, in this case PVA mixed 50/50 with water plus a couple of drops of washing up liquid, plus an eyedropper to surgically apply the mixture.
With the water misted on from a plant spray, the mixture is added. Having the washing up liquid added breaks down the surface tension, so as you apply the mix, it spreads out through the ballast hopefully leaving no high or bald spots.
P.S. Valentines Day today- DON'T FORGET!
