    Rose Brand Molding Cloth?

    Just used it all over my latest set and it looks great. Like others have said, not structural at all, but creates wonderful texture. I was afraid that doing such a wet paint process would be bad for it, but it took all my glazes and passes with the water sprayer just fine (as it should for...

    Dropping a Window on an Actor

The designer also wants the hearts to glow under black light for another scene. Does anyone have experience with either Rosco's Vivid FX or mixing Rosco Glo in with regular...
