With CA you adjust the track before applying the CA. That is why the track is pinned with 'T' pins. They will hold the track quite well then when all is set you apply the CA and no need to wait till anything dries and very little chance of creating hills and valleys due to excessive caulk in spots. Oh and sand the cork roadbed before you start to make sure it is smooth too.
If you know how to use a putty knife you wont have any excessive caulk making hills and valleys. Sanding the cork is a good idea. Also...I and many modelers NEVER glue down turnouts. We leave them 'free floating'. Glueing down both ends of the track coming into a turnout...and the track coming off the diverging route will hold the turnout in place just fine. This assures all the moving parts of a turnout will continue to move...and not have an "OOPpppsssss" due to the adhesive getting into areas you dont want it to go.
Actually, I had to remove track from two curves due to clearance problems and re-align. Also, track from a universal CP to add another x over that I didn't think about initially. A putty scraper worked fine, none of the cork came off. Yes, you lined up the track first (especially important with complicated CP's with numerous turnouts), then apply drops of CA. I choose a medium consistency since the thinest setup too quickly and I didn't feel it would hold properly due to it soaking into the cork.
