I am new at this. I used 4x8 soundboard for my track table. The problem I am having is that I keep getting saw dust particles. Thinking about painting the table with Elmer glue mix 50-50 with water. Hope my plan works. Option number 2 will to paint the table with light brown paint.
Any suggestions?

FWIW. If it was me I would go with flat dark brown latex. The reason I prefer the dark brown is that it has helped me with scenic projects. But it would depend on the area of the country you are modeling. For southwest area a lighter color might work better. I would use a roller with just enough paint to seal the surface. If you allow a lot of paint to penetrate deeply into the sound board it might warp. This not scripture of course. Just things you might want to consider.
I agree with dark brown for flat surfaces. Makes a good backdrop for your ground cover. On more vertical surfaces, flat black is best, since it gives good shadow effects when combined with lighter dry-painting.
