Matte Medium or PVA?

We used both matte medium and white glue on portions of our 30' x35' layout and were happy with both for 10 years. Then the layout had to move and we easily salvaged all of the switches fastened down with white glue by simply soaking the areas for a short time before removal, but ended up damaging beyond use most of the turnouts (peco and shinohara) that were fastened by matte medium. Impossible to remove without something to soften the matte medium, but never could find anything to loosen the matte medium that didn't damage the plastic turnouts. No more matte medium on ballast for us.
