Spandex Screen

[robmirror]

I have some color changers and yoke fixture and want to make some frames and put spandex on them.
Any good web sites with info on this technic?
I know very little about it.
Thanks Rob

Check out the cost of using the goo paint system? The idea is great, the cost is high.

It would be nice if you could use their paint to create nice temporary screens as needed. Imagine being able to paint any surface and turn it into a reasonably decent quality projection surface? But the cost of their paints (base coat and top coat) adds up pretty quick.


http://www.dazian.com/ Is a good fabric resource.

I ordered 3 yards of 80" "Coated Celtic Cloth for Projection" and it only cost me $33.60

That was enough to make a pretty large screen. The fabric has a fair amount of give which makes it good for stretching over a frame, but be careful. I put grommets around the edges and managed to rip a couple of them out, but that was due to extremely rough handling at the time.

I love spandex, I've decided to buy a bunch and forget fastfolds for good. Just need ladders to get the spandex up...

That's a good deal. How do you like it?

It's not too bad. My only problem was that my first attempts at building a collapsible frame failed, and in the process I tore a couple grommets out and ripped the edge up a bit. So I'll need to double up the edges and re-grommet the thing, but home-economics is not my bag and I don't have a sewing machine... so I'll have to take it somewhere to get fixed up.

I'd say it's worth it if you are just somewhat careful with it. One good thing is that if you get it dirty (and you all know you would) you can just throw it in the washer.
