I really hope this works out for you. I tried basically the same thing back in 1968 with my HO layout. At that time, the product was called "Solder in a Tube." It was a total failure.

The product was just basically epoxy (with the thickness of toothpaste) with lots of ground silver or something mixed into it. I was very gloppy to work with, gave uneven results, and didn't really help out with conductivity much. It was very hard to get small amounts of it in place, and wanted to form globs. And, getting oil or cleaner on it made it start to come loose.

Hopefully, after almost half a century of progress, the product you have is better.

But remember, epoxy is not immune to light oils and chemical cleaners. They will work there way underneath it. Acetone in particular will dissolve lots of epoxies.
