Morgan, your being to afraid of this stuff. I've used it by buying sticks of graphite and just rubbing it on all my rail, including the turnouts. Doing nothing special and everything is fine and engines runs well. So, just rub it on your rails and go for it. I got a set of four at Hobby Lobby. They last a long time. Also get them on Amazon or Ebay if you don't have a Hobby Lobby in your area. And run your trains.
