52: Building up the earthen ramp.
52
Once the spackling dries, glue the structure in place using
a small amount of white glue. I used white glue because I
want to be able to remove the structure in the future with-
out damaging it and the white glue provides just enough
adhesion to hold the structure in place.
Next, use some of the spackling to build up an earthen
ramp to the beginning of the wood ramp- see the photo
here (52). I also built up the area where the trucks would
pull in prior to backing up the ramp. Once the spackling
dries, paint the surface with your basic ground cover color.
I use a 50/50 mix of cheap, tan latex paint and water.
