What adhesive works best for "cork on plywood"?

[jrbernier]

  I used 'Titebond' to attach both Homabed and cork roadbed to my 1/2" subroadbed a number of years ago.  Now, I might use the available latex calking.  In any case, I would still use 1/2" wire brads to 'hold' the roadbed in place.  I just tap them in so that the top 1/8" is still showing, and pull them about an hour later after the glue has set.

I have used Elmers wood glue for cork road bed on the B side of B/C plywood and it works well.  My last layout has some sections that have lasted over 15 years.

I use push pins to hold down the roadbed overnight while the glue dries.

Cheap latex caulking is a good adhesive for both purposes.  Sometimes Wal-mart or other stores have latex caulk for $1 per tube.

 Latex caulking compound.  Sticks well and stays slightly flexible.   $3 or so for a whole caulking gun tube.  You can use white glue (Elmers) or yellow carpenter's glue, but IMHO the caulk sticks better over time.

Hi!

What adhesive works best for fastening 1/8 inch sheet cork on smooth plywood?   And, what adhesive works best for fastening standard HO cork roadbed to smooth plywood?

Obviously "best" is subjective, and to me means something that:  spreads very easily, has a relatively short set up period, and stand the test of time.  

Thank you,
