Hi
That's how I do all of my backgrounds. I use 1" rigid foam on the back and 1/2" on the sides. I usually have a chunk of wood on the back, so I use a thicker piece of foam. Then, I just silicone them into place. I can upload some pics if you like.

Yeah Glenn, I'd like to see. Thanks! You use only silicone to adhere them?

Yes I do Lisa and some of them have heavy pieces of wood attached.
I'll load some pics up.

That was fast, thanks!
What do you mean by pick away at the foam? Shape it?
If I gather correctly, you use the flat foam board, and then Great Stuff on the surface for the ridges etc?
You silicone the flat ones in place, then place the wood and Great Stuff it in place and fill the corners?

Your welcome,
Yes, shape the last bit of foam. I usually just pick at it with a finger and then put a generous amount of silicone on the corners.
You got it, except that the wood is mounted to the foam board too. It all goes in at once and just fill the corners.
The larger piece of wood just sat on the substrate.

I would love to see the pictures, but for some reason I cannot get any pictures to dispay in any of the threads on this board. How can I correct this?

Never mind. I switched to Chrome and all is well now.
