Ballasting and painting track
#3
The usual reason is that it is not as shiny and it is somewhat flexible when dry.
I should have trusted my past tests and stuck with white glue. There was a whole arguement that track on foam board got louder after ballasting, negating the use of caulk as an adhesive. The section I test ballasted a few years ago, the sound diminished as the car rolled from the unballasted to the ballasted section.
