I am wondering is this stuff just designed for use with Friul-Tracks or can this be used with other manufacturers ie MasterClub ? I have a set of MasterClub metal tracks and want to use AK's Burnishing Agent on them.

Cheers

Just wanted to make sure. I did not know if Friul-Tracks were made of some funky alloy that would only react to this burnishing agent. I guess I have gotten paranoid over the years and thinking this would be like trying to use an acrylic thinner on paint that is 'other' then the original manufacturers.

Make sure that you scrub the tracks down with acetone to clean theme and allow the reaction to take place

Also, mix the Burnishing fluid with equal parts water. And please, wear gloves and eye protection, and do it in a well ventilated area!!
