I am rebuilding a new lay out and want to know how to get the glue off thecork roadbed ,i used white glue, any help thanks

wash it with water (scrub if neccessary)

if you use the wash and scrub method be sure to thoroughly dry the cork before laying track and sealing it with ballast, or you will be creating a problem down the line.
Frankly I tried to reuse the cork roadbed from my first layout and it had dried to the point of becoming too crumbly to curve. I wouldn’t work too hard to save each and every piece.

I have reused roadbed without any problem at all. I used a knife to separate the cork from the subraodbed which worked fairly well.
