I use to use nails in the old days and still do on a very rare occasion. I would never use glue as I like to be able to easily lift the track up if needed.
Caulk is my weapon of choice. Using a very thin layer to stick the track down is all you need. If there is caulk on the track that needs removing when pulled up, you have used too much caulk.

I like clear latex caulk. I use track nail to hold it all down and pull them when I an satisfied. Liquid Nails to too permanent....I can lift a section of track with a wide putty knife...

Adhesive caulk. No nails.
I have the right to remain silent. By posting here I have given up that right and accept that anything I say can and will be used as evidence to critique me.
Hello all, simple question: Do you secure your track with glue(I use liquid nails adhesive), track nails, or both?
Im not sure if the glue is enough to secure the track, but the nails make the track look fake, because the nail head sticks out of the track every few inches.
What do you guys use?
PS I dont need other suggestions right now, this is more of a poll.
