Tips from The Old Jaybird - Joining Routed Track Sections

Easiest way to join pieces is to use a lap board, piece of 1/2" or 3/4" plywood, about 6 or 8 inches in one dimension and as wide as the track in the other. Place it under the joint and countersink wood screws down thru the track into the plywood, then fill the screw holes with Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty, sand and paint and tape.

Do what Old Jaybird says, unless the track has to come apart for storage...then do what he says on one side and use furniture bolts and threaded inserts on the other half
