[quote user="BillS1935"]Has anyone tried bending sheetrock without wetting it. I thought of scoring the back about half way through, moving the steel ruler over an 1/8 of an inch and scoring it again at an angle and taking out that strip. Doing that about an inch apart for twelve inches, it's for a 14" backdrop and the rock is 1/4". <p>Thanks,</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>It will just break all the way through to the front paper coating if you try that. All you will have is a thin paper sheet trying to hold everything together (very fragile). You are better off bending (with wetting) two layers of thinner drywall or using 1/8 hardboard (several layers if more thickness is needed). I would just just hardboard (Masonite) and make the front surfaces match up with the flat drywall sections.</p><p> </p>
