Hi,
I'm thinking of using the sieved ash remains from a home barbecue as ballast, however, I was wondering whether this could be harmful to the track's rails as I recall that ash is ever so slightly acidic.
I will be fixing it down with diluted (with water) Pva glue using detergent to reduce surface tension, so don't know whether this would help by creating a seal between the ash and metal rails. I could of course be way off the mark in thinking this.
I'd be grateful of any advice kindly offered.
Regards,
Jointed
