Hello All,
I'm in the late (hopefully) planning stages of my next layout and considering linoleum or vinyl flooring for my backdrop. One of my local Home Improvement stores has a great deal on remnants that would more than cover my requirements, so I'm leaning that way already but want to know more before I commit time and money.
The layout is to be built in sections strictly for the purpose of being able to disassemble and transport easily for a move which may be sooner rather than later. So whatever backdrop material I use will be attached to a frame that is semi-permanantly attached to the layout sections. This might be a factor for rigidity of whatever material I use.
So here are the questions:
Those of you who have used or are using linoleum for your backdrop - how do you like it?
What are the pros and cons - ease of construction, durability, paintability, cost, etc.
On other forum topics some folks mention that the linoleum sags and warps...how did you mount it and was that a factor that could have corrected (or not) the sagging?
I'd like more than "It's great, I love it!:thumb: " or "I'll ever use that stuff ever again!:curse: " please.
Thanks for whatever help you can offer.
