<p>[quote user="ATLANTIC CENTRAL"]What would be the point?[/quote]</p> <p>Probably "free" was the main point.</p> <p>As far as adhesive caulk goes, Liquid Nails heavy duty construction adhesive (<a href="http://www.liquidnails.com/products/construction-adhesive-LN903">http://www.liquidnails.com/products/construction-adhesive-LN903</a>) is what I have always used for cork and flextrack. It works, plain and simple. It comes off of track after some effort. I was able to salvage 100% of my turnouts from old layout. The cork really wasnt salvagable. Nearly 100% of the rail pieces are salvagable for handlaying. 95% of the flex track could be re-used, with some effort expended to remove the attached liquid nails and cork.</p> <p>Tightbond 2 (<a href="http://www.titebond.com/product.aspx?id=2ef3e95d-48d2-43bc-8e1b-217a38930fa2">http://www.titebond.com/product.aspx?id=2ef3e95d-48d2-43bc-8e1b-217a38930fa2</a>) is what I use for both homabed and wood ties. Im gluing 3 wood or wood based products together: plywood, homasote and ties. Why not use a wood glue that is specifically designed for the application?</p> <p> </p>
