Central Valley Switch Kits

[grumpybob]

I know I have seen some talk on here before about the Central Valley Switch Kits. I just recently bought a couple of kits to build some switches, but can't be sure what kind of glue to use to secure the track to the ties? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bob.

Barge Cement. If you thin it a little with M.E.K. the plastic will melt slightly and form a stronger bond. Though my understanding is that this isn't absolutely necessary.

Ace Hardware is the place to go if you don't have any barge cement. I've never seen it anywhere else.

check out Central Valley's site, they describe how to use the Barge cement on the ties.
