Can it be used to mount a race track on or railroad tracks?
Asked by Stone April 15, 20214
AnswersYes. It is ideal particularly if you are cutting it into strips for grade changes. As with all plywood, its a little tedious to nail into. Gluing the track would be preferred, but it is more permanent. I, however put my trains up on a seasonal basis. That means laying track and pulling it up every year. I recommend another product: 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. R-1.2 Sound Board Sound Barrier Sheathing This is like a thick cardboard. It holds the track nails down and yet is easy to pull up to remove or relocate. It's 1/2" and as strong as the 1/8" ply. I place cross members every 16"-12". The pulp material also deadens the sound considerably. It's a bit more expensive, but worth the versatility. Not easy to find though.

I'm sure it's great for the intended purpose . I use it for drawer bottoms and the back of small storage chests so it would be nice if the outer layers were a bit thicker . It still works good just don't sand it very much .

I do like this stuff - though I've never used it for underlayment. I've used it for floating panels in fairly fine cabinetry, because it's inexpensive and there's often interesting figure - just don't do more than barely sand it - the top veneer is thin and the glue is often red!I also use it to make lightweight wooden storage bins to go on shelves, with 1x2s and 3/4" flat-head screws.

Underlayment (Common: 7/32 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft.; Actual: 0.196 in. x 48 in. x 96 in.)
We used this underlayment for a new floor in our foyer. We replaced some pretty hefty tile with laminate flooring, thus needing a new solid/flat floor to attach it to. It is lightweight, but very strong and smooth, easy to cut and nail. It was used on an area approximately 8 X 14. Also reasonably priced. We have used this same product for numerous projects in our home and will continue to.

I did not use this for my floor, this is now my ceiling in my living area and I absolutely love it. I chose not to paint it, leaving in its natural state. It goes will with my walls, an unique solution to a weight limit for me. Again, it is so amazing, be happy to share pictures of how it turned out.

There are two types of underlament I see under this sku at Home Depot... this one has a pinkish hue to the finished side, the other is a more natural-looking wood tone. Which one you're going to find depends on what was in the most recent shipment. Prices are equivalent. Not as much of a fan of the pink stuff as I am of it's more lightweight and less flexible counterpart, but it gets the job done. (I should note however that the range of applications for which I use this material is very narrow and highly specialized. Most consumers will be perfectly satisfied with either variety.)

BEWARE -must be screwed down every 4” on inner area, 2” around edge!
BEWARE -must be screwed down every 4” on inner area, 2” around edge. There were no installation instructions by the point of purchase, as some reviewers described. If i had known this i would NEVER have bought this. It took me 3 hours to Screw down half a sheet. (Screws would not sink correctly) I had to go buy a compressor and narrow crown stapler to complete the installation. A thicker plywood would have been easier to install. Less fasteners!
