Gluing Track To Foam
#13
You guys have this one covered pretty well. I've been using latex liquid nails between track and roadbed. I smear down the bead with a putty knife, so it doesn't squish up between the ties, then set the track section gently in place, align it, then secure it down with a rubber roller. Like Randy was saying, it holds very well right away. For curves, I weight down the section overnight. I definitley recommend using roadbed and as few nails as as possible. I glued track straight to foam once. Never again. Upon running the first loco over it, I could not believe the horribly loud AM radio-like buzz that eminated from the foam, which acts like a giant amplified speaker.
