Gluing Cork Road Bed to Foam

I use a hot glue gun. My glue gun has the option for "Low or High" temp. If you have a hot glue gun with these 2 options, make sure your gun is on low. It would not damage the foam. The trick is to lay the roadbed where desired, pin down in place and run a small bead of hot glue along the sides. Remember, 1 strip of cork at a time. If you try to do 1 whole complete piece of roadbed like this, the middle where it seperated would be loose. This is a very fast process to do when you have a lot of track to lay and have no time for adhesive glue to dry. It's easy to mark the foam where you want your track. Just get a piece of track and turn it over so the rails are facing the foam and push down to make a imprint of the track in the foam. Get your roadbed and hot glue in palce. Done.
