I did expect some resistance (pun intended) to this idea. 
I've soldered a couple hundred-plus feeders to the rails over the years. My goal is to avoid all the wire connections needed under the layout and the fact a soldered feeder can be seen.
My method takes about 2 minutes to join the rails and about 15 minutes of low heat from a heat gun to cure the epoxy. I like the welded-rail look and sound if one is going with a more modern era layout.
I don't want to drill into ties and all that either. If the track plan is changed then it's the dremel to the rescue.
My testing of the joint was quite thorough and I like the results.
Thanks for the inputs! So far you guys haven't swayed my decision. Silver-based epoxy is expensive but it's used all the time in critical electrical connections.
