This is available in a range of thiicknesses, 1.6mm or 3mm is fine. If you buy it from window suppliers they use it to mount frames into openings and one side already has an adhesive on it. I put this side onto the track because if you ballast straight away, the adhesive holds the ballast in place too.

I doubled the cork roadbed with flex tracks and 22* at each corner of the 4 walls
