<p>Jeff:</p><p>I like your idea, but you may end up with a problem in about 1 - 2 years...Several years ago, I built a simple shelf layout (simple meaning one loop of track around the walls of the room about 12 inches from the ceiling) in my son's room. I used Walthers background scenes and trimmed them to fit. Not wanting to use wallpaper paste (a bad decision in hindsight) I used double sided masking tape on the seams and at the top and bottom edge of each section. Somewhere between 1- 2 years the adhesive from the tape bled through the scenic paper and now you can see where each piece of tape is. Just some info. for your consideration.</p><p>Mark Schmidt</p>
