Hello,
The Burbank Branch had a mishap from unseasonably warm weather (heater up too high) and a section of track buckled up from the roadbed. Trains are being diverted.
The track was adhered to the cork roadbed by acrylic caulk. To put the track back down I have to remove the old caulking from the roadbed so the new caulking will adhere. (fresh acrylic will not stick to dried acrylic) Any suggestions on how to remove the dried caulking and save the cork roadbed? I was going to sand it down but was wondering if anyone had any tricks.
Thanks,
John
