Cleaning track

what is the best way to clean the track after laying ballast and spraying with glue.

Wrap a piece of old T-shirt or sheet (diaper, clean dish cloth?) tightly around your forefinger, and then point your fingertip down onto the rail top. Wipe in one direction, and repeat later with a damp cloth. Keep your curled fingers away from the rail tops, and most definitely away from the ballast.

Do this as soon as you are finished spraying the area glued, or it will become about ten times as tedious and difficult…in other words, don’t ever let the glue dry!!!
