Joining track for good electrical connection

Since no one has replied...FWIW, I don't use anything but the rail joiners and power feeds to ensure electrical connections on my track and it is working quite well.

I would not put anything on the rails that might end up in the engines...

I try not to rely on pins or joiners for electrical contact. Each full section of track gets its own feeders. Most of you will think this is overkill, but on a large layout, it's one less thing to worry about. Pins and joiners are only for track alignment.

Bob, the product would be a waste of money for me--I'll trust my track assembly and soldering of drops to a buss, or a mechanical connection using spade terminals connecting to a buss, to supply continuity.

 

 

LGB sold a black "grase" and you can buy dilectric grease at auto stores for better conductivity and prevent rust etc. I used it on my LGB outdoor layout and it seemed to work. You don't need a lot. You just put it on the pins not the track.

Is that product made for hobby's?….. I squeeze all three rails with a diagonal pliers. I remove the pins from the track squeeze each rail and reinstall the pins.  I do this with new or used track and once the track work is done I test run a 1947 2-4-2 steamer which show's me any bad connections. This along with a buss connection every 5 to 10 feet has worked well for me……. 

Interesting product but I would just rely on the tried and true methods previously  described.
