Title: glue on track
Post by: bluedepot on September 25, 2019, 08:24:58 PM
just say you were a bit careless when gluing down some track yesterday and got codydex and pva on some sections...

is goo gone any good?

tops of rails pretty good just inner rails need a clean up...

Copydex should peel off easily.
For the PVA, I think I'd remove excess with a small screwdriver acting as a scraper.

PVA   Glue    can   be   removed    by   a    stiff    paint   brush   and   boiling   water,    get   a   egg   cup   and   fill   it   with    boiling    water   and   gently    keep   dabbing   the   glue,   it   may    take   time   but  eventually   the    glue   will    soften   and   can    be   removed   with    a    small    screwdriver   or   cocktail   stick,   it   worked    for   me
