I've used homosote as a road bed before, rather successfully. I glued (carpenters glue) the homosote to medium density hard board sub road bed. The combination maintained stability. Make sure and use fairly thick hard board, 3/8's or greater ( I kept the unsupported distances to less than 20"). BTW, hardboard is resonably inexpensive. <br /> <br />My brother used homosote without any sub road bed. That was a disaster! Although, he was able to recover by gluing hardboard to the bottom of the homosote. :-)
