Glad you found a solution, Kevin. A bit late to chime in, but I was going to add that I have used white glue and water as a bonding agent extensively on the handlaid track I've done with no problems in shifting track or swelling ties. IN fact, the ties were laid on yardsticks as roadbed with 1/4" ply as subroadbed using yellow carpenter's glue.
I've heard somewhere recently that white glue will carry more sound resonance than matte medium. Supposedly the matte medium is more flexible after drying. I can't say since I've never used it in that way. I have used Mod Podge for scenery work, but most of the time use Sobo or Elmer's white glue. Sobo seems pretty flexible when dry.
Looking forward to the fo-toes.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
