The thin ones are simply fitted under the track before its screwed down.Īfter you get the over pass secured, screw down all the flat track, this will take some time, but once done you never have a problem with it coming loose. The longer over pass supports are screwed down to the door from below with long screws. My supports are made from 3/4' particle board scraps cut the same width as the track used, The thinner ones near the start and stop of the over passes are 1/8' solid cardboard and 1/4' cork. You will need to stand up the over passes now, and make your supports, to help hold the track together I used AFX track clips to keep the sections tight. I put the whole layout together and lined up the whole thing, getting rid of any gaps and making sure it was cantered on the base.
I started by cleaning my track and polishing all the connections, this step will save some dead track section problems later.
It may be a bit pricey compared to other options, but would look really clean and durable.With the base covered in felt you can now lay the track. Keeping this clean would be a piece of cake. It usually has a heavy backing and you could adhere it to the plywood with a spray on adhesive that would allow you to peel it up if you wanted to. You could place thin high density foam or rubber sheets underneath it to improve the sound deadening quality. It comes in several different colors, is 54" wide, and will produce a very clean looking and seamless result over 48" wide plywood. Any tight weave carpet should work well, and I've seen it used in a lot of commercial raceways to good effect.Īnother viable option is to go to a fabric store like JoAnns and look for heavyweight vinyl upholstery fabric. Other options include green indoor/outdoor carpeting like you'll find at any home improvement store. If you mount your track to the table using RTV or use a carpet underlayment the noise will be minimal anyway, unless you are running RO or unlimited cars. I'd rather put the extra money into a really good quality 3/4" plywood and learn to live with the slightly greater noise that you'll hear.
It's nasty to work with and frankly, I don't see the appeal of using it at all.
