Has any body heard of using foam board (3/4x8ft.)for a backdrop I know what glue to use but does it take latex paint ok? Appreciate all replys jimbob7
Latex paint should be no problem. It is water based. I have used it over my foam with no problems. A lot of solvents and adhesives will disolve foam, but latex shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve thought of using foam as a back drop but I’ve worried about it getting dinged up over time. It’s just too easy to put an indentation into it.
I have a ‘wall’ in my train room covered with pink foam over the concrete block. I painted it with leftover latex paint just to hide it. Seems to cover just fine, but the note above about dents and scratches is very true. It doesn’t take much to mark it up.
