Ferge: Where do you get your latex contact cement or what brand do I look for?

You might it at Home Depot, Wal-mart or other building supply centre. The stuff I use is manufactured by LePages and the non-toxic stuff is called Pres-tite Green Contact Cement. Works like and as good as standard contact cement but without the fumes. I also use it for laying down cork road bed. It comes in 8oz, 16 oz and 1 gallon containers as well as squeeze tubes.

I'm sure if you can't get the Lepages brand there is an American equivalent.

Ditto for me. Works like a champ and can be undone to correct any minor discrepencies.

Liquid nails should work. I have used a glue gun for tacking risers down and I've also used latex contact cement as it is non-toxic. Stuff works wonders

Officer Jamison,

I didn't use WS risers but I did use a lot of foam for rises and sub-roadbed.

Elmer's white glue worked fine for me. And it has the advantage that it can be undone fairly easily if necessary, without destroying the foam.

I am wondering for those of you that have used Woodland Scenics Inclines and risers this: I am going to make an incline for my RR layout. I have 1" foam on top of my plywood. Most of my layout has been laid on cork roadbed flat to the foam. My roadbed was glued to the foam with liquid nails and/or Elmers glue-all white glue. I am going to elevate my elevated portion with WS inclines applied right on to of my foam extending from a turnout from my existing layout. To get to my question, can I secure these inclines to my foam the same way I did my cork roadbed-with Elmers glue or liquid nails? Those glues really worked well in securing cork to foam but will they also provide enough strength for the inclines. Just wondering what those of you that have tried these have used.
