Title: Tacking track to foam board
Post by: robcope on January 03, 2011, 04:25:50 PM
I want to use something to tack the E-Z track to foam board.  I am looking for something that will allow me to pull it up later if needed?  Not sure I am making sense, but any input would be great.

The easiest answer is low temp hot glue. Just a dot here and there should do it.

An even easier solution would be to use Elmer's white glue. No heating of a glue gun required, and it can easily be removed later if needed.

I've had good experiences with the Low temp hot glue gun. I like the fact the glue sets quickly and is not messy (With exception of the little strings they sometimes produce.)  I don't think either process is an easy removal. Although, I've had better results with hot glue. You risk the possibility of tearing the paper off the foam core with both methods. Maybe you could test both methods on a small piece of board first.

Hi robcope,

I like Aleene's Tacky Glue.

Google it.

Michaels crafts stores carries it.

Good Luck
