"Pledge with Future Shine" has been reformulated. I have tried the new formula and concluded it is not suitable for ballasting simply because it does not hold the ballast in place nearly as well as other brands. There is a difference between polish/floor finisher (such as Pledge with Future Shine) and wax. I'll leave it to the chemists on this board to weigh in, but I know that from experience wax holds the ballast much better than polish. We have used just about all of the consumer-marketed products at one time or another and concluded that Lundmark's All-Wax worked the best. Most of our ballast has been in place now for well over 15 years on many hundreds of feet of track.
The All-Wax looks like skim milk while still liquid. --- In [email protected], Talmadge C 'TC' Carr <group_list@...> wrote: > > incorrect > just renamed pledge with future shine > somewhere there is a modelers webpage with all this info including the > tradenames in other countries. > > > On Apr 2, 2011, at 10:02 AM, Brian Jackson wrote: > > > Our entire railroad is ballasted using various brands of floor wax. > > The original Future is no longer available > > Talmadge C 'TC' Carr > Sn42 and Hn42 somewhere in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest > group_list@... > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
