Styrene Backdrop Help

This is an interesting idea using styrene for a backdrop. I guess my initial reaction was "won't that be much more expensive than using hardboard (masonite)?" The other reaction I have is that any adhesive that will hold up such a large piece of styrene my be so thick that you won't be able to get a smooth backdrop. Along that line I would think with .03 styrene it would be best to fini***he seams and nail dimples. Of course I would think that filling the seams would be somewhat easy to do with either body filler (squadron green putty should do an excellent job) or just using plastic glue to fill the gap and then sanding down. I'm very interested to see if anyone has used styrene for a backdrop and what their results were.
