I've drywalled all the walls around a new train room, but not taped it. If I use floor underlayment paper and then the back side of linoleum (or vinyl) rolls for the RR sky to be painted upon, do I need to tape, mud and sand the joints & screw dimples? (The bottom part not seen will be wainscoat panel). Is linoleum (or vinyl) a good backdrop solution?

Harold, If you plan to use floor covering on the wall you don't really have to finish the dry wall. I tried it once over a cinder block wall and didn't like it ,all the lines came through. I took it down and used 1/8" masonite. If it were me I probably would just finish the dry wall and paint that for my back drop!!

Andy: Thanks for the help. When you said the lines shown through, do you mean it was the joints in the cement blocks or the pattern onthe back of the linoleum?
