Track technique is, however, quite different as one uses non-sticky hardening cements (shellac or industrial cements such as Terokal 2444) whose bonds once broken are broken--- similar to the bound between the basetape and tyre.

whats the reason for using different cement on track ? isnt the road mastic strong enough to handle the forces on track ?

Two reasons... really.. strength and bond reliability is one... The other is rolling resistance.. Tyres glued with "stickly" road mastics have higher rolling resistance than those glued with hardening cements...
