Lay it straight!

Hi Herc. A couple of things that I do. Nail or pin your straight edge ( I use a metal yard ruler ) to the table so it does not move. Only do a section of track at a time. Spread the latex caulk ( or what your using ), put the track down making sure the track is snug against the straight edge. The push pins I use have big head on them so that they hold on top of the rail and not the tie. Push the pins straight down, not at a an angle. And do not stagger the pins. Put the pins directly across from each other and use a lot of them. Then you can remove the straight edge, wipe it off and move to the next section. Good luck.
