He recommended foamboard but it’s up to us what we use. Can’t blame him if it isn’t perfect.

Re: Wrinkled Backscene
I have not done my back scene yet but one chap advised on here that double sided tape starting one each corner and work along top and bottom edges. Only small piece every few feet. (streach it across) That sounds a good idea to me I am going to try doing it that way. But I still have to get some ply to use to do that job.
I was going to use polycel but been advised against that idea.
I am just started laying track at moment.

Re: Wrinkled Backscene
I was (am) that chap who used double sided tape. The only thing I would add here is that my layout is in a spare bedroom with a fairly constant temperature throughout the year. I understand that the problem layout in question is situated in a loft and ,as others say, subject to a large range of temperatures and humidity. I cannot say in all honesty how the tape solution would perform in those conditions. BTW I used the wide carpet tape as I presumed that would be the strongest.
Most people are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician

Re: Wrinkled Backscene
I've ordered some paper backscene from Gaugemaster. I'll have a look at it when it arrives and I may take it to a decorators merchant for advice on the best glue to use. I'll let you know how I get on.
Re: Wrinkled Backscene
Sorry TWD I should have said it was you but the method has been mentioned by others as well. That was why I did not give credit to one person.
I have not done my backscene yet but I am going with double sided tape to try it out. The only problem with the method as far as I can see, is if there are curved parts or curving around corners. I would think glue is the only way to do that.

Re: Wrinkled Backscene
For what’s it’s worth, my backscene on Shaddeholme is the Gaugemaster printed sheets stuck with PVA to 3mm MDF. No wrinkles or bubbles .
On the other hand the backscene for Low Ghyll used the same 3mm MDF but this time painted with acrylics. No bubbles or wrinkles, just a very poor artist.
