Well,first of all,I never have had problems with paint flakeing off my Fruil Tracks,and beyond that I am able to achieve subtle variations by the use of washes and pigments same as I do with Magic Tracks or DS Tracks when I use them.

So,no problems for me in those regards.

"stupor, nausea, severe hypotension and death" cannot be a good side effect!?! How does that mix with the years of glue and paint fumes I wonder? LOL

Another solution from a ship forum.
Note that the Jax seems to work on all metals - including solder. No idea what it does to plastics.
