If you must use 1/2" plywood, I would suggest you use the cork roadbed glued down bay any adhiesive you choose. Keep in mind the choice, for it will make a difference when and if you want to change something. Hot glue is probably the best. Use a Hair dryer to soften it up and just peal it away. I am currently using 1/4" Luan and using the cork roadbed. I am also using 1/2" nails to tack down the track. I use a hand held Nail Set tool that I picked up at the Local Hobby shop. It has an adjustable depth collar. I just determine how deep I wan the nail to go and set the collar on the nail set and start to go. It is not 100% but at least I get close to 98% in without bending. Hope this helps. If not go with the Homasote. It surley does dampen the sound and is very easy to nail into. Since you have the 1/2" ready to go, put the cork down and use the Pin Vise. <br />Regards, John
