Gents, for those in the know... it seems the Homasote sheets I bought today for the layout has a textured side and a slightly smooth side.   Not a big difference, but I figured I'd ask... Is there a preferred side up for those experienced with it?   Yes, I will paint with latex paint for an in-house, air-conditioned gameroom layout.   Thx.

All Homasote apparently is not created equal.  The stuff I used has a fine mesh pattern on both sides.  I didn't spend any time thinking about which side to put down, it was just cut to side and slapped down.  Mine is all screwed down with a lot of screws, 700-800 for the whole 12 x 24 main surface.

Edges and around openings got a lot of screws, as well as seams.

All the seams and countersunk screws were then filled in with Speed Finish and sanded smooth.

Finally, it got a coat of brown paint.

After that, the finish fascia went on.

John what material did you use for fascia that bent around the curves?
