We use mila-walls from time to time and we have had pretty good success with latex paint. We also use vinyl lettering with no problem, the vinyl will pull off some of the paint but it hasn't been a big deal for us. We have also used regular wood filler to patch holes in the walls, however we have found that bondo seems to be more durable for when we reposition the walls.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Mila-wall in exhibits

Hello! Our museum has just purchased several orders of mila-wall for our large exhibits area. I was wondering if other museums have painted their mila-wall or simply had it relaminated between uses. If using paint, what type - latex, latex free, etc? Also, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck using vinyl lettering on their mila-wall or found a better signage alternative. Any information/advice on these subjects would be much appreciated!
