Ground Goop

Today was the first attempt at Ground Goop. I had two recipes. One from a November 2005 MR article and one from Dan George. (Both are listed below.)

November 2005

1 part Celluclay

1 part Earth Color

1 part Vermiculite

.75 part White Glue

cap full of Lysol

Water to make a peanut butter consistency

I used Dan's recipe since I had seen his work and it was outstanding! And I used a cup as the part measurement.

In the picture below I am starting the process of mixing the Ground Goop by getting the Celluclay.

Once the Ground Goop was mixed I applied it to all of the areas in Furnace and around the team track in Stanley. I am now waiting for it to dry. Tomorrow I hope to put in the road coming into Furnace. If all goes well I should have the forest completed to Swift Run and possibly beyond by the end of the year! This would include the ground cover in and around Furnace and Swift Run.
