I’m currently working on some gravel parking lots using Woodland Scenics fine gravel. I’d like to weather these lots as the gravel is just too “clean”. What are some recommended methods for doing this?
 
This area was made with Arizona Rock and Minerals fine ballast. It is a real crushed material. I used India ink and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol in a mixture about 80% IPA to 10% black ink and 10% tap water.I used a sponge and dabbed it on. Applied until it passed the eye ball test.
