I would avoid cutting the track directly over the joints in the modules. Any future movement, settling, warping, or misalignment can cause a hump which causes knuckle coupler to unknuckle. Better to use a "snap track" section to join modules with the split in the middle. Be warned you can really have a severe problem by cutting flex track in the center of a curve. The two now unjoined ends will spring straight causing a bad misalignment. Some say to super glue it to the ties, but this really isn't a fix because you must loosen ties to slip on joiners. FRED
