Ballasting switches takes a bit more care than regular trackwork. For more detailed information on this and related model railroad topics see: psmrc.org/publi...
Looks amazing hopefully now I’m confident enough to ballast my peco points here in uk England

Rubbing alcohol as your " wet water", applied with an eye dropper is what i have used for years. Allows the glue solution to saturate the ballast. As the glue penetrates the ballast it pushes out the alcohol so you know when you have applied enough glue.

Tip do not place glue or ballast near the points, the control rod, the heel joints, wheel guards, or the frog. These sections are powered and contain the moving parts of the switch. If anything gets in here you will weld the switch shut and it will not work and you can cause a derailment.
