We are using a piece of Scrim as an Oleo Drop and need to gather it overhead Braille Curtain style. We have 5 lines running equidistant across the 36' long - 18' tall drop. Once the curtain gets about half way up it becomes noticeably heavier and the operation becomes jerkier. We are using an unweighted manual hand line. Right now it only takes one person to run it and i don't really want to add a second. My thought is that if I add a sandbag at the top of the hand line where the clew is, then it will raise the bottom of the curtain until the two loads balance out. So how do I add weight to the hand line half way down the run? Would doing a block and tackle for the hand line help?
This is mostly because the operation is not smooth, but also a bit because it is out of weight.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
