gel usually sells for about 5-6 bux a sheet.... so all gel is pretty cheep....

[nez]

yea but you have to be careful of wat you get cuz we got some gel at my school that started to melt after the frist use so yea

Apollo gel is what we use, it holds up well to heat and runs about a buck less than Lee and Roscolux.

well all gel will melt if you let it... it depends on the saturation level... a deeper more saturated color (R88) for example will melt in about an hour of strait use... R04 on the other hand will run forever without melting.... it also depends on the fixture, wattage, intensity, how well its benched, and about a million other factors.... Rosco tends to hold up pretty well... and most lee's do as well.... and if you choose a really saturated color a heatsheild would be a good option, just be sure to put the heat sheild in a seperate frame... and if you have to ask where the heat sheild goes in the mix then you should consider a career in accounting

Bill's right- it holds up well and has a decent price tag. Give it a try!

lee has a clor called blood red, often names are decieving i.e bastard amber, but blood say battle to me and its a nice looking color too me. i can't really suggest anything unless i can see your particular show...
