<p class="MsoNormal">So, a HS group is coming in next month to do 1 piece as part of a University Bands concert.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They are creating a piece to perform here that involves dancers and 3 overhead projectors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It appears that they want to use India ink on the OH projectors and have the dancers dancing in that light (think 1960s coloured oil and water effect).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re a concert hall, blond maple floor. Yes, I’ll be putting paper and plastic tarps down.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question: unlike paint (which is what I first heard about), how bad is India Ink?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How long does it take to dry?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can it be cleaned up with water?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can it be scraped off the floor when dry?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Will it eat into the floor finish (like a Sharpie)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any words of warning greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
