Description
Ballasting is one of the most transformative steps in building a realistic layout — and one of the messiest if done freehand. The Bachmann 39006 Ballast Gluer/Fixer takes the tedium out of the job, letting you apply adhesive to freshly spread ballast quickly, evenly and precisely without disturbing the stones you have just groomed into place.
The tool dispenses glue in a controlled flow right where you need it, along the tie ends and between the rails, so the ballast is fixed in place with a clean, professional finish. It is a huge time-saver on larger layouts and helps beginners get expert-looking trackwork on their first attempt.
How to use
- Spread and shape dry ballast along your track with a ballast spreader or soft brush.
- Fill the gluer with diluted white glue or matte medium ballast cement.
- Run the tool along the track to dispense adhesive evenly into the ballast.
- Allow to dry fully before running trains.
