How do you get into that area??? It looks like it is only about 24" between the floor and ceiling.

I've been using a number of things. To put my extruded foam down on the bench, I use the Liquid nails for foam. To place anything on top of the foam, like roadbed, I use the el cheapo white latex caulk. I use the clear el cheapo latex caulk to put the track onto the roadbed. It all works out really well.

Do you use this for the track as well? I nailed my cork to the foam w/ 3/4" #17 wirenails then i nail the track to the cork w/ atlas track nails. It works ... o.k. :) but my area is not perfectly straight and i'm on a super tight budget so i was thinking of using some form of adhesive. Couple of gotchya's though i used 18" radius turns. As i am learning my 6 wheeled locos can run on it, but they REALLY don't like to run on it ;). So i have to pull it up and put down 22" or bigger turns. I'm sure this is going to happen in other areas of my layout so what do i use to allow for this flexibility?

I use carpenters glue from Home Depot or Lowes. I've used regular Elmers glue as well but I prefer the carpenters glue because IMO it holds the roadbed to the foam better.
