  4. Sorry DB, its a non drinking night.
    I'll go with the good old water and detergent I think, followed by dilute PVA.

  5. Whatever method is being used to stick the ballast down, I'd highly recommend it. That ballasting is as good as the prototype - something very seldom achieved on model railways.
