<P mce_keep="true">(sorry to go on about this, but I am just about ready to commit my backdrops to the wall, and they are expensive so I am being very cautious...having ruined some cheaper ones on an earlier layout)</P> <P mce_keep="true">I found a thread in the O-gauge (OGR) forum site exactly on this topic. I'm still waiting for my membership to be confirmed so I can directly quiz users there.</P> <P mce_keep="true">However, wanted to put up a thread topic here in my favorite forum on this.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Has anyone here ever used just 3M clear packing tape on masonite panels to smooth over the seams? I am still concerned about just using drywall compound and tape for a couple of reasons.....in the past my drywall seams look crappy, and I am not sure about the compound sticking for long periods to something as shiny as masonite.</P> <P mce_keep="true">I have pretty much decided to simply put drywall compound over the seams with no drywall tape. My seams are very very tight. I think I trust the drywall compound to stay on the masonite even more than I trust packing tape....</P>
