I will use .10 stryene sheets to go around the corners of my 7x12 backdrop. I read that styrene can get cut w/ a hobby knife. However, couldn't I use scissors since the styrene is so thin?
I plan to use masonite on the straight sections. The styrene on the corners will get built up from behind to match the masonite's thickness using extra .10 strips. I have 1x2s behind the benchwork that will support the masonite and styrene. I will use joint compound to fill in the cracks between them. How much plastic glue do I need to hold the strips together? I figured to get two one-ounce bottles of Testor's plastic cement.
TIA!!

scissors will be fine
Amount of glue I do not know.
You could probably apply the Testors cement in a style simialr to applying carpenters glue to wood although I have much better success with thck gap CA. The thick gap CA holds over time much better than the Testors..
Lee, if you haven't bought the styrene yet, save yourself some dough and go to the local big box and check the "for sale" signs.
