• What is the best way to attach Track-Bed?

  For a strong bond, rough-up the bottom of Track-Bed™ with 80-grit sandpaper and attach using the contact method, working in small, manageable sections.

  Contact Method - Apply Foam Tack Glue™ to both surfaces, allow to set for approximately 20 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour, until tacky, then apply.

• How much Foam Tack Glue will I need when I lay my Track-Bed?

  N scale Track-Bed - 1/3 oz of Foam Tack Glue covers approximately 4 feet of N scale Track-Bed

  HO scale Track Bed - 1/3 oz of Foam Tack Glue covers approximately 2 feet of HO scale Track-Bed

  O scale Track Bed - 1/3 oz of Foam Tack Glue covers approximately 1 foot of O scale Track-Bed

  Super Sheets - 1 oz per Super Sheet. 1 bottle (12 fl oz) will do 12 Super Sheets.

  NOTE: Coverage is approximate. Exact coverage depends on thickness of application.

• When using the Foam Tack Glue on Track-Bed material, can it be removed safely in the future?

  Yes. Soften Foam Tack Glue with warm, soapy water. If the glue is difficult to remove, use denatured alcohol.

• I am using Track-Bed, and securing the track with Foam Tack Glue. Now, I need to move one of the tracks. How can I get the Foam Tack Glue to release?

  To remove Track-Bed™, soften the Foam Tack Glue™ with warm, soapy water. If the glue is hard to remove, use denature alcohol.

• I am doing a layout and planning on using your foam boards on top. Will the Foam Tack Glue work well to glue the cork trackbed in place?

  Yes, but we recommend attaching the cork roadbed using the contact gluing method.  Apply Foam Tack Glue to the back of the cork roadbed and surface where it will be attached. Let the adhesive dry until clear (maximum working time, 1 hour). Press cork roadbed in place, glue will bond instantly.

• I have your Risers and Inclines. Would Foam Tack Glue or the Low Temp Glue Gun be best for adhering these?

  Both adhesives work equally well. Foam Tack Glue is high tack white glue and works well as a contact cement. Low Temp Foam Glue bonds instantly and works well for a quicker installation.

• Can I attach the pink extruded polystyrene sheet to the plywood with WS Foam Tack Glue and, can I attach the WS incline set as well as WS trackbed with the Foam Tack Glue to the polystyrene sheet?

  Foam Tack Glue can be used to attach plywood, Risers and Inclines/Declines, and Track-Bed to pink extruded foam, but it must first be sanded with #120-grit sandpaper. This type of foam has a slick surface that needs to be roughed up so the glue has something to hold on to.
  
  Use the contact gluing method to adhere materials to the extruded foam. Spread an even layer of Foam Tack Glue on both contact surfaces. Let the glue dry until clear (maximum working time is one hour) and then press surfaces together. The glue will bond instantly, creating a secure adhesion.
  

• How do I attach track to my Mod-U-Rail Layout Kit base?

• What adhesive is the most suitable for securing Woodland Scenics trackbed to a painted or unpainted plywood surface?

  We recommend using Foam Tack Glue to adhere Track-Bed to a plywood base.

   

  If the plywood is painted, we suggest that you use 80 or 100 grit sandpaper to rough up the surface. This will give a tooth for the adhesive to hold on to. If the plywood isn't painted, you do not have to do this. To attach Track-Bed to a plywood base, use the contact gluing method. Apply adhesive to both contact surfaces and let dry until clear and tacky (maximum working time is one hour). When installing Track-Bed, the glue will bond instantly.
