diluted white glue

[SteamGene]

If you use diluted white glue for scenery work - grass, brush, ballast, etc, what dilution do you like?  Who adds detergent to the diluted glue?

Gene,

  I use white glue or acrylic matte medium for scenery, and have been for years. In either case I mix 50/50. For what it's worth, I like the acrylic matte medium better. It is available at Michaels or AC Moore craft stores.
  I have never put detergent in the medium or glue mix. One drop goes into a spray bottle of water to spray onto the scenery or ballast prior to 'gluing' The detergent breaks the surface tension of the water so it wets the surface/scenery evenly. Then the added glue or medium is absorbed evenly and completely into the scenic element.
