Just to clarify, you are putting the metal polish on a piece of cork then applying it to the track. You then rub it in by hand and finally you buff it with a piece of cork. Is this right? Thanks.

QUOTE: Originally posted by cmrproducts One reason I am using the cork roadbed (besides I have a ton from my old layout) is I found that it did not seem to fall apart as fast as the others I tried. I began using a cloth and found that at any rail joints it would snag and begin to leave little bits of lint. While finding the sharp edges on the trackwork, I would fix them using a small file, it was the lint that I really did not like. I figured that I did not need any more dust on the layout so I began trying other methods. On a friends layout we tried the small pieces of Homasote. It worked almost as good as the cork but it too began to leave little bits of material as it went along. So I am wondering if the foam might do the same thing as it wears down! BOB H – Clarion, PA
