<p> </p><p>Soldering of joints on flextrack with feeders pretty much makes a solid track.</p><p>Get a yard stick. Drill a hole large enough for a pencil at a mark.. 22" for example. Pin down one end of the yard stick and stick a pencil in the 22" mark. Swing that pencil around your plywood in a curved line. (You might also use a camera tripod for center marks "Off benchwork")</p><p>Your cork roadbed will be in half. One half this side of your pencil mark and the other half to finish the curve subroadbed. Flext track goes onto top of that with spikes. Actually very small nails, but I call them spikes. Most people glue them today.</p><p>Careful steady progress checking as you go for quality is the best path to track work.</p><p>Me? Im lazy and tired, I just flop down Kato Unitrack and go.</p>
