New roadbed ?

[pgandw]

Vinylbed is not a new product. It is an interesting roadbed that has a following. I have not tried it myself (have been tempted to try a sample), but a friend has. He even spikes handlaid track into it. His report is that Vinylbed is made out of recycled rubber bits, is reasonably firm but offers better sound reduction than cork, and doesn't dry out like cork. He said he would occasionally curl spikes when he hit firmer bits of rubber in the Vinylbed. The latter is why I have stuck with Homasote myself, despite the mess of having to cut it.

just what I have heard
