First batch of mixed Homemade Ballast...

First batch of Homemade Ballast...

This is the first mixed batch of the graded #40 sand with the base coloring of 200 drops of RIT dye (50/50 mixed dye to Isopropyl Alcohol), the second batch has 25 drops of RIT - Chocolate Brown added to the base batch, the third batch has 15 drop of RIT - Navy Blue added to the base batch (25/75 mixed dye to Isopropyl Alcohol).

Then all three batches are mixed together to get the final ballast mix.
