Good job. I find it helps to sand the cork to smooth it out, yes it's a little messy (to tell the truth a lot messy), but we'll worth the effort and you can super elevate the roadbed at the same time, try it as what you think, you might like it better. I agree spraying is messy you get all over the place thanks for a great video...
Thanks for pointing that out, I used medium ballast. They do make a fine and now that I think about it fine grade would have look good on an N scale layout.
You are the 1st to paint the cork roadbed before laying the track. I wished I thought of it 12 years ago. :(

Here in the UK sidings were rarely ballasted so im going with ALAN PUMB'S recommendation
Painting the cork first is genius.
Thanks for the video. I found it the best one that I watched.
agree
if your ballasting switches don't place any glue or ballast near the control rods they will gum up and the switch won't work.
I noticed that you did not place any full strength glue down the center of the track. Is the 50/50 mix sufficient to hold the ballast there?
Hi Gabe, 50/50 works great, I now use a 1/3 glue to 2/3 water mix and that works great for ballast and most scenery.
Great video. I thought i heard you say you were using ‘fine’ gravel, but the container label said ‘medium’. Please clarify.
