I do not have a solution but a potential warning.
There is a kind of water proof white glue. You might think that would be the right thing. I did get some water proof white glue (a German brand) some years ago and did ballasting etc. with it. I noticed the mistake some month later when I tried to do some changes and the ballast did not come up after 5 minutes soaking with water.
The outcome was that water proof white glue is not really water proof. It needs some hours but it becomes slime again. Water proof white glue is not made to do e.g. outdoor furniture. It is only made to sustain one or two rain showers.
That means if you do ballasting with water proof white glue and you have a longer period of rain the glue is gone!
You should ask for permanent outdoor use as water proof only might be not good enough.
