Well firstoff regardless of your subroadbed (the stuff below the cork) whether foam or wood get a marker or something and draw your trackplan. I suggest using rulers to make your turns uniform (ie. if you want an 18" radius take the marker and hold it at 18" etc....) Once you have your track plan drawn use a strong glue (one that comes in large quantities not a little bottle of something outragiously strong like crazy glue) and glue small sections (so as the glue wont dry before you get there) along your marked trackplan. Place the cork on top of the glue and press down. Use very small nails or tacks to keep the cork in place (temporary). Then place the track ontop of the cork by again using very very very small nails you can get at a hobby store or glue...then ballast. Hope this helps
