Tambour door

It’s been a while since I have posted on here so firstly “hello”.

I am building a tambour door for a credenza. I am wanting to source some canvas for the back and looking for a little advice. A drop sheet at the local hardware store is 8oz thick. Seems like it work. Any reason I shouldn’t use it?? I can get 12oz off Amazon. Does it need to be this thick??

all comments appreciated.

thanks in advance.

To thin and you will have a major issue with glue wicking through. I buy canvas from a tent and awning shop in my city.
