MDF is likely to move a bit, no matter how well braced it is so the flexibility will allow it some 'give'.

My baseboard is moved around when my portable track needs to be packed away. Or is there anyone with a better idea. I was thinking of using tile cement and cat litter but obviously I don't want it to fall off when I move the track.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072132189845863943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26391908.post-31857021145748073622021-10-08T16:43:26.566+00:002021-10-08T16:43:26.566+00:00Thanks Tobias

I ...Very we'll written. Thanks for the details.<br />I am wondering if the diluted PVA you poor on the cement mix before it sets inhibits the strength of the cement.<br />I am trying slab layer mix where I am cement. I sift the slab layer first the fine stuff fixes the track. Then I add the fine gravel I sifted out on top. Then mist with water and wait till set, a day or so. And then I flush with diluted PVA. Rock hard indeed. Lets' see how it holds up. The larger fine gravel in wickes' slab layer look great for g scale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26391908.post-85669334264440893782011-01-23T22:24:59.320+00:002011-01-23T22:24:59.320+00:00Very nice/interesting write up.
