SECURING TRACK TO ROADBED: HELP NEEDED

I need help--and fast. I've assemble a simple layout platform, comprised of several tables (with metal folding legs) upon which one-half-inch thick extruded polystyrene sheets were placed. I used KATO track, H. O. scale. I was running a passenger train the other night and noticed that the outer mainline had shifted, causing the train to derail. Does anyone have a suggestion as to whether an adhesive on the underside of the track to secure it to the styrene sub-roadbed is the answer, or am I just asking for trouble in the future? I'm new at this though I've always loved model trains. My skills/technique are limited--any ideas?
