I'm building my 3rd layout and this time I'm putting homasote on top of the table top (about 8' X 12'). Three questions.
1. Should I fasten or glue down the homasote? I bought some PL300 just in case.
Glue it. A few dots here and there. I used buckets of water on pieces of 1 x 3 to spread the weight and hold it down. I suppose it is heavy enough you may not need any weight.
2. Which side is the top, smooth side or scored/rough side? (I assume smooth)
Whichever side that you like. The smooth is probably the better choice.
3. Latex paint OK? Seems like it needs to be sealed.
Yes. It will suck up the first coat. Plan on two coats.
Thanks!
