I used the 2' x 4' version of the ceiling tiles for my last track laying 
base and was disappointed with it's spike holding qualities--I wonder 
what the differences might be!  I will also mention that if you have a 
major water leak the tile becomes very much like a mixture of oat meal.  
I've had to clean up the results of a couple of water leaks.  Once 
weakened by water, the stuff never seems to regain it's strength.
