I've painted my cork board and added Fimsa style markers (the red and white curbing), using blue masking tape. I paint it BEFORE I laid it down using your method a few years ago.
vitoman50 yes, paint white then the red. Only after spraying the cork board black first. The flat black really dies act as a primer, and the cork will soak it up.
Johnny, no I put it straight on the wood. There is foam insulation glued to the underside of the wood board. No I don't screw my track down, I glue the cork trail roadbed the the board so the track don't move around. The 1/4 in mdf does the rest. If the track breaks or gets damaged it is easier to remove and replace.
Thank you for your response l appreciate your time knowledge it me not understanding. Forgive me can l put cork under the track and glue the cork down then put HO track on top again thick head. 🇺🇸✝️😊🙏👍🚙🚘✝️
@@vitoman50 Excellent series of building a track. But I wonder, the blue foam you have as a hand rail, suddenly it was black in other videos. Did you change the color of the foam or did you paint it? And if you painted it, how did you do it? Very thankful for a answer. Regards.

The cork takes flat black paint really well.
teeteetoto Thanks for the info
Should I paint it white first then red strips?
vitoman50 yes, paint white then the red. Only after spraying the cork board black first. The flat black really dies act as a primer, and the cork will soak it up.
What's Jersey wall and where do you get it? Keep the Vids coming..

You could put cork under the track. Are you doing it to keep the noise of the board down?
@@vitoman50 thank you for your response. Yes sir and better stability if that make any sense thank you for your time 😊🇺🇸✝️
