Can some one tell me the best measurements for white elmers glue and water? For scenery. and should i add a few drops of dish soap. I searched the internet for the answer, But i get a lot of different measurements. And some say to spray isopropyl alcohol on it before the cement? I didnt think model railroading would give me such a headache lol
The reason that you found different "formulas" on the 'net, is because the ratio of Elmers to water isn't at all critical.
If you go as low as 1 to 10, it will still hold scenic material in place, but the less glue in the mix, the easier the resulting material is to scrape up, when dry--if changes are desired later.

Howdy Wilson, the headaches come if you listen to all the "ideas" on the net. Herb is right, I use 50/50 glue & water but no alcohol in the glue mixture. Just a few drops of alc or liquid detergent in the "wetting" water is all you need. Indoor modelers usually fiddle around with eyedroppers and hypo syringes but I use lots of glue and lots of water...that's why I like to work outside.
