Temporarily Gluing Track (Before Ballasting)

I used Elmer's rubber cement under my track to hold it in place. I am using foam rubber (Trackbed) roadbed on foam homasote subroadbed. I glued the roadbed with the rubber cement without any major debonding problems and then glued the track down with the rubber cement once that had dried. Only thing is, you need to be pretty generous with the cement to hold the track down. But if any debonding happens on the track, it can be pulled back up, a new layer of cement added, and then press the track back down. It helps to weigh the track down, too, with bottles of paint, or other items that size. And, like other methods, a few strategically placed track nails keeps everything in line!
