I’m building my first layout and have tried different techniques on different sections. I n the past I had always used white glue for track to cork placement. I tried caulk at the suggestion of many on the forum and it was much easier. The clear really does end up clear too. I used in on my most tricky section with crossovers and multiple switches in an 8 foot area and it worked fine. I avoided the actual switch mechanism and they still work like a charm. Thanks to all for the input.
That was my experience a year ago when I first heard of it from the same guys you heard from. Great forum or what?
