Welcome to the third and final phase of the building of my new backdrop.

In the first pic, I explain the tool I use to spread the glue with. It's amazingly simple.

Pic 2 outlines how I did the majority of the first section.

The end of the section must be secure, or the next section will not line up properly.

Pics 4 & 5 show shots of the existing backdrop on the other side of the layout.

And that concludes my little three phase description of how I make a backdrop. Now that you know my secret, feel free to use it if you wish.

I leave you with the Smilie band.
