Not sure why you don't want to glue anything down. The proper use of cork is to glue it to the table.
O gauge cork is made with a perforation along the center line. After pulling the two halves apart they are narrow and flexible enough to bend smoothly to any radius. I have cork roadbed under an oval with O-36 curves. I use sandpaper or a file to smooth the edge of the perforation and beveled edge of the cork. Place the track onto your table, mark the table along the center rail, then glue the outer half of the cork where you have marked the center line. Hold it down with weights until the glue dries. When glue is dry, glue the inner half of the curve tightly against the outer half. Then screw the track down.
