Thanks Pete and Wayne... This background cut-out is from Realistic Backgrounds, and is printed on "premium card stock". I have some painted scrap formica left, so I think I'll test the methods using some small sections of that portion of the background that I had trim off to get the cut-out...

I have a background cut-out that I need to mount... do you think the gelled contact cement would do a good job there, also??? Bob

Just be careful... mine listed the Seller as a "100 % positive feed-back" Seller, with 669 transactions. He said I ordered the item, and have not paid for it ("he is waiting for payment") and he maintains that I ordered an Elvis Presley Napkin Holder from his auction. I have sent 2...

I am in the process of building a new layout (this time, it will be an "around-the-room" layout). After tearing out my old benchwork, I decided to address all the things about the room that I didn't like the first time around... so I put in new lights, a larger "panoramic" background, etc...

Welcome aboard, Jim... your layout and scenery work looks great. Thanks for sharing your photos. Bob
