Bob,
It's been a while, but I installed that sort of paneling in a bathroom a
few years ago. I remember some of the joints weren't on a stud, and it
turned out okay. I just sunk the nail and filled and painted. The
joints looked fine. Although that may have just been dumb luck--that
stuff was really thin and it seemed like if I really wanted it perfectly
flat (and good-looking) I had to nail a lot more than they told me to,
which is what I did. Turned out fine, just took longer than I thought.
