Hi Everyone!
This is probably an easy one...
Our fly space is such that it's not possible to pull a drop all the way out, without finding a way to roll or fold it back. This generally hasn't been a problem in the past... but for our current production, it's going to need to disappear. So, I was thinking of a way to rig it so that the pipe in the bottom would be brought up and attached to the batten, making the drop 1/2 the height. My TD seems to think that this will ruin the paint that will be applied...My questions are:
1)Will this crack the paint off? (It won't be a sharp fold)
2)How important is using the argo gloss starch before painting
3)If using the starch, should the fabric still be primed, and does it help the fabric hold the paint any better, or prevent the cracking?
4)Being on a budget (H.S. production)what is the best paint to cover a 50x16 drop - planning on using latex based paint.. thoughts?
Basically, I really have no "art" background and know very little about this.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
