Do I need to replace my wires? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Quick question,

I was using woodland scenics' scenic cement to glue down some grass/ballast on the layout, and a good amount seeped through several holes in the table, spilling onto numerous wires under the layout. I wiped up all the glue on the wires that I could see, but was wondering if I should be worried about any electrical issues. All the glue is on the outside of the wires, nothing inside or on the stripped portion of the wire. Do you think wiping off the glue is sufficient, or do I need to consider replacing some of the wires?

Thanks

No need to replace the wires in my opinion.

Glue on the wire insulation is nothing but extra insulation. I wouldnt waste the time to change wires because they got dirty.
