I'm starting to ballast the track and switches leading to my clubs enigne house. I have read that when ballasting switches, make sure the points of the switches are free of the bonding agent, and to operate the switches to insure they move freely.
If you apply very little ballast (up to the bottom of the ties), how can you prevent the bonding agent from interfering with the points? Addtionally, if you apply the bonding agent at night, how do you insure the agent will not dry and prevent movement of the points? Is there another way of preventing the agent from interfering with the points while still adhering to the ballast?
