Adheres to wood, metal, ceramic, foam...

I was pretty pleased with my mock up yesterday (and after spending a few hours cutting and placing foam) so today I started the gluing process. You may notice in the picture from yesterday pretty much everything was simply pinned together with some T-pins. For this step I'm using Liquid nails -- PL Premium is your friend -- it sticks anything to anything.

If you look closely there is actually two sheets glued on top of each other -- this is because in the design most of the layout and scenery is 1/2" above grade, with some track dipping down to just one thickness of 1/2" foam -- no track will go on the bare plywood table.

I guess having old extra year books lying around has come in handy. Anyway, this puts together the base for the layout... tomorrow I'll probably start tackling the foam for the inclines...
