Temporarily Gluing Track (Before Ballasting)

Currently, my cork roadbed is glued down (to foam subroadbed) with my track sitting in place (yet loose) on top. Since I know that ballasting the track will ultimately set the track permanently, I'd like to temporarily, yet firmly, glue the track down WITHOUT LIFTING IT UP off the cork. And while I want it to be glued down firmly (because it may be a while before I ballast and don't want it coming loose from train operations) I would like to be able to remove it fairly easily if I want to make any changes along the way. <br /> <br />I was thinking about dripping a few drops of C/A between two or three of the ties on each section of track, but wasn't sure if that would melt the cork, or even hold. <br /> <br />I also thought of using a diluted 50/50 white glue mix eyedropped between the ties. <br /> <br />Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! <br />Thanks!!! [:D]
