I'm happy to give back to this great, helpful board.
I'm using a Rosco Shrink Mirror to rear project images and movies from a high end Sanyo projector onto a dark grey Chameleon Scrim (www.studio-productions-inc.com).
I'd rate the final results as an 8 out of 10 but our images are forgiving.
Our initial stretch over the frame (4.5'x8') was not taut enough. Heating after that removed little dimples and patterns but left big wrinkles that got worse then next day. We then used a canvas stretcher and aggressively stretched a second time. This left a few puckers and wrinkles that we lived with. Heating didn't seem to help.
The final image lacks the clarity of a glass mirror but it's lightweight and a lot safer.
The dark grey Chameleon Scrim looks nice catching the front light, projects a bright rear image and allows for a "halo" see through effect. It does diffuse the image a bit and passes a green version of it through onto the floor. This is easily overwhelmed with other lights.
I learned a ton doing this and would be happy to provide more details if anyone wants to know them.
