No, these came this way from Wenger. Also, see my last reply.

It's like fiberglass bats, like the pink stuff, there is a slight membrane to it, but whenever we handle the platforms, we get fiberglass dust on us, so I'm looking for a way to seal the fiberglass. The sound absorption is kind of not an issue, since when the pit is at house level, there are...

At our theater we have a pit that can be lowered or raised through Wenger platforms. The platform pieces have fiberglass on the underside as sound damping I presume. The issue is when we have to handle the platforms, the fiberglass fibers can really irritate your skin. These fiberglass bats do...

How well do they stack? The PDF tear sheet I got from the distributor says they chairs stack about 4 high, 6 high on a separately purchased dolly! Do they really only stack that much?

Hello All,I need to purchase about 40 new seats for musicians. Ideally black fabric, stackable, and durable. This is for a union roadhouse and the musicians usually will be union musicians. I already have a quote request into a Wenger distributor. Does anyone have any other good suggestions...

So I'm the prop head at the Curran Theater in San Francisco, we just finished restoring our stage floor after loading out Harry Potter. We used Rosco Tough Prime Black which comes in Egg Shell and it covered great. But I am discovering that flat surfaces are very hard to sweep dust up from. We...

We have 10 wire basket toppers and 10 sets of bottom racks (black) for Z-Racks. The bottom racks can fold up when not in use. These will fit standard wardrobe rolling Z-Racks. Please DM for more info and to schedule pickup. They are located in downtown San Francisco at the Curran Theater. Please...

Yeah, I don't have a garage or shop space per say, so I wouldn't consider investing in a corrugated stapler. Besides, I would still need to keystone and corner block the connection points if I used corrugated staples.

Hello,I'm a 25 year IATSE stagehand mainly in set construction, but also in other fields as well. A friend who works in construction asked me if I could build some 4'x8' luan covers flats for a portable potty covering. The construction crew said they usually use 2x4's and heavy plywood...

So we purchased two handheld confetti cannons for Music Man last year. This year the director thinks electric cannons would be better, more reliable. Issue is the same company, Artistry in Motion, has a price tag of $1125.00 for a single cannon shot. Does anyone have any experience with other...

No, they had been rewired with heavy duty rubber coated wire and levitron edison connectors.

So I went to Costco and purchased 48 BR30 dimmable LED floods. Total cost was about $170. The bulbs fit into the sockets and since they were only 10 watts each, I was able to gang each circuit onto one dimmer of the Leprecon packs without any load issue. Since there was very little heat, if any...

I was hired to clean up and do some maintenance at an elementary school in Marin Co, CA. The theater had two huge strip light I had never seen before, they are 24 cells, 3 circuits each with 8 cells per circuit. They had the same kind of roundel frame. The problem was if I used incandescents...

Hello, I've been asked to help with a grade school's lighting in their small but functional theatre. There are two huge strip lights (I use that term loosely because these cannot be taken down easily and they are huge, 24' long, all one piece.) hung downstage and mid stage. These strips are 3...

So I programmed a couple of chase effects for our students' dance concert into two submasters. I pushed one of the bump buttons and the chase locked on until I hit the bump button again and it stopped. I pushed the bump button for the other chase effect programed into the next submaster but this...
