Title: What material
Post by: Old sailmaker on May 05, 2014, 02:54:20 pm
Hello folks, i have a request to make a 10x30' stage backdrop for a band (indoor)and then another really large one for outdoor stage. Anyone ever done anything like this? Curious as to what material to recommend. The old one is like a cotton/ duct type material probably #10. Pretty nasty and wrinkled bad. Ideas? Probably be a couple different colors and prefer something that wont wrinkle too bad when its folded up if thats possible. Thanks again for any help. Craig

+1 what Mike said. You can find it on ebay if your not commercial. It is light and folds well.
