This doesn't ring any bells with me. That's the trouble with using 'local' terminology. Us yokels from the 'mother' country don't always understand :-)) Just what is it?

He probably meant Double Sided tape. At least that is what I thought of when I read it.

Yes - You can get 'thick' DS tape, not sure how soft it is as I have always avoided it for the jobs I have needed tape for. Given that it is not under any kind of stress, assuming the layout is fixed, it should last okay. Nice idea. In the US some people use a kind of 'Blu-tak' like putty (comes in track-width strips), you lay it , press down the track, lay ballast over it and press that down. It was called 'instant roadbed', I asked on a US ng and was told it collects dust (so I didnt try it myself). Again presupposes a fixed layout as I doubt it would be terribly strong. One point it to get 'book binding' PVA which stays rubbery rather than setting rigid, it does keep the noise down a bit but you have to get it from the makers (I was not able to find a supplier). I got mine a few years back from a firm called Sheppy, if yoiu have difficulty tracing them I can try and find their details.

Don't fret about it. We all have our "D'oh" moments. Some more than others. (G)
