Bill I am a great admirer of your feet, they look a lot like mine I even have asimilar pair of shoes. I do not know what a dry wall sander is, although I have seen many references to them, Jack Verducci uses one, so they must be ok. We don;'t even have dry walls here in Queensland, let alone sanders for them. What is a dry wall anyway? In the words of Pauline Hanson " please explain". Now on to LGB conductive paste, this is a waste of time in my opinion, I am not saying a word about the quality of the product at all. It may or may not help conductivity, I do not know but one thing I am pretty sure of, it does not improve mechanical strength of a join. Over a period of time joins do come apart, particularly on a curve after a straight, and particularly if you have a heavy peice of equipment or a fast train and this to me is a more likely problem, at least it was when I had my RAGS (Rough AS Guts) layout in Sydney. If you listen to Jack verdsucci and i do he advocates soldering all joints except those at points (switches) then use Hillamdn clamps and that is what i do and i have not had a single joint problemof any kind in my Kawana Island layout. Why not use Aristo track , it screws together, a simple but ok answer; not the answer but pretty good all the same. Soldering is easy and the bugbear of expansion doesn't ring true, it can be compensated for but for me it is not a problem; as it is too small to make any difference. Soldering is easy; you use a jewelers blow torch but if you are unsure, spend the extra and put Hillman Clamps right round. A bit more exxy but you can forget anny probelems ever, just about. Regards ian.
