I used ME stuff to weather my already installed track. Fortunately I did NOT put in on the joints. You have to clean the top of the rails to get things running well again. I cannot solder it until I clean it. It did a nice job of making the rails blackish. I would not use it again due to the electrical problems stated. I am still somewhat afraid of a few of my non-soldered joints (I dont solder my turnout joints, nor did I ME weather them) where I did get it on by mistake. So far so good, but I think I'd look elsewhere. I have been using the magic markers made for weathering. Much easier and does an adequate job. I never got the nerve to spray paint my track, just didnt seem like a good idea. Some people do. You could carefully paint the tack with a brush I think. I am sticking with my Magic marker (its only probem is it melts my blue foam if I get some on it). Whatever you do plan on cleaning the top of the track. Im in N guage, BTW.
