Can camper top tape be beveled? Saw some at my local Ace and I'm considering trying it for roadbed, but I'm wondering if profiles have to be built up with caulk / ballast / etc.
Seems like beveling something like that would be MASSIVELY time consuming. There are cork roadbed products that don't have beveled edges and I think people just build it up with excess ballast gravel? Caulk could work too but that sounds messy to me.
It also might not be as flexible as you need. But totally worth a shot. It could also be that it's too soft / squishy.
I'd say grab a roll and see what you can do. Try it in lots of configurations before planning to use it on an entire layout. Wouldn't want to get part way through the project and realize it just won't work for some important space you hadn't tested first.
im going to try it . 5.71 for a 30 ft roll 1 1/4 wide from home depot . ive read where other people have used it sucessfully . i will try to razor cut it if necessary when i do roadbed . may not be necessary to cut .

That's a good point. You'd have to be fairly careful with it. Though the cheap cork I used tended to crumble and snap too easily. It wasn't soft enough.
