I am planning an around-the-room layout, and I have a question about facia. I plan to use a 1x3 open-grid frame supporting 2" foam board. To make it look better, I plan to put a hardboard facia along the front, as well as a 12" hardboard valence parallel to the edge of my layout along the ceiling to hide my lighting. I have seen pictures in MR that show layouts with curved facia, and I really like the smooth look. If I use 1/8" hardboard, what kind of radius do you think I could bend it to? I have pretty broad curves, so if I could get a 6" wide strip for the facia and a 12" wide strip for the valence to make a 36" radius, that should work. Has anyone done this? If so, any tips? I really appeciate any feedback on the topic. Mike
