Reply to "Homasote necessary with cork roadbed?"

We used diluted white glue (can't remember the brand.)  The water didn't soften it sufficiently to pull the track out without a lot of scraping. The denatured alcohol melted all the glue out quickly and the cleanup was easier. It also soaked into the cork.

Matt,

 

What bonding agent did you use to secure the ballast? Regular white glue will easily loosen up with a water.
