[SML] Torches for stage ( NO FLAME )

[Greg Bierly]

In 2020 I had purchased these silk torches for a production where I needed a large number of torches quickly.

They worked OK but were not very robust and were a little sketchy.  Plan on buying 25” more than you need.  

I had purchased a couple of these thinking I might use them in set dressing.

But I needed one additional torch.  We flipped it over hot glued it to a cardboard tube handle, wrapped with with a translucent “solo cup” and shot it with a bronze spray paint and wrapped some Rosco 100 around the top (with roughed up edges) to soften and extend the “flame”
