I just finished reading the article on using caulking compound as an adhesive when laying flex track. This is a good technique and one I have used extensively, but now I offer an enhancement: <br /> <br />Use a little more caulk than the author recommends and then sprrinkle ballast into the wet caulk. (Buy the caulk in a dark color so that it will blend in nicely with the ballast color) . You may have to experiment to get the right amount of caulk, but once you've mastered the technique you will have a neatly ballasted roadbed with less mess than the usual diluted white glue method.
