Re: upholstery backing and materials

I have had some luan on walls and yet to cover them. It is warped up anyplace there is no0t a screw. Might be ok if guled or screwed more. I don't want to have it warp up after I cover it and look like crap. As for glue I know it is PIA to rmove later. Grandpa hac the inside carpeted and had everything wraped,it was the 70's.LOL the adhesive was a pia to get rid of.

Looked at using the shower surround as I have done dozen showers with it. Just not to sure how well it will work with fabric glued to it. I would conform easily enough to the radius where the roof meets the walls.

Thought about using oak veneer or similar and cutting v=groove on the back where I need it to roll to match the radius. I installed a piece and has none of the warping of Luan.
