Deluxe Materials Ballast Bond (with tip)

The Deluxe Materials Ballast Bond (with applicator tip) is a specialist water-based adhesive designed for securely fixing railway ballast, scenic gravel, and ground textures in dioramas and model railway layouts. It is engineered to flow deeply into loose materials, creating a strong, long-lasting bond while drying clear and matte.

The included precision applicator tip allows controlled application directly onto ballast without disturbing the surface.

About Ballast Bond

Ballast Bond is formulated to work by capillary action, meaning it can be dripped or flowed onto loose scenic material, where it spreads naturally and locks particles in place. This makes it especially effective for railway track ballast and detailed ground textures.

Unlike standard PVA, it is designed to minimise surface disturbance and reduce visible residue.
