[SML] We need a new cyc

[Jon Ares]

Regarding using Rosco Twin-White RP as a 'cyc' - three questions.
1) Can it be as big as our current cyc? Ours is 30x60.
2) Are there visible seams?
3) What's the bottom pipe pocket situation look like? We can almost
never use a ground row to hide the bottom, so how tidy does this look?

Because it’s a Twin-White, it works for both front and rear whether it’s lighting or projections, it picks-up and transmits the light really well. We have the ability via ties on the sides, but have not found a need to stretch it in any way, other than a bottom pipe. We did find that one should remove the bottom pipe when not in use as the RP material has “fused” itself to the pipe we have in there, and we are terrified of tearing the goods, so it now has a “permanent” bottom pipe. Since it always stays in the tower, it’s not really an issue. 😊
