Had my mishaps as well but quickly wiped it off with clean skin.

Super glue, CA, cyanoacrylate. Same thing.

Try applying with a toothpick,pin, tack, anything not attached to the bottle.

I certainly remember cleaning the commutator from my motor & generator training days but not the brushes, we always just wiped them with a paper towel (ok they were a bit bigger than N scale  ) certainly were always warned about keeping the brushe...

ghan,

wow brownish green would be the color for the nickel silver patina that would form. still amazed to hear track getting corrosion like that from humidity, but thats what sounds like it was happening. how long did it take to form? i guess its just ...

Hello.

Although we have a little DCC layout, and we're building a bigger DCC layout, and even though we've got Lego trains and T-guage throughout the house, during the 2-day holiday this week, Nik not only drug out some old HO stuff, but decided to thr...
