>>5962229At least with Dragon's magic track there's only minimal cleanup of the links. I have this waiting for me in the stash.
One thing I've found makes things a bit easier is to put down a strip of tape, sticky side up (held in place with a piece of tape at each end). This keeps the links in place as you line them up.
Then dabbing some Tamiya extra thin cement or so into the joints should be the easiest way of getting the glue where it's needed.
