Storage

+ Creating space to store the furniture for act 2 required us to use the area behind the dock doors as a storage area. This is frequently done buy hanging a small black ( 3mx4.5m) and masking it off as a small storage area. This has been marked as " Chandler Storage area black" and is located in the blacks store in the Ath.

Studio Tack

Description

Studio tack is a type of sticky back plastic. It is frequently used in Television and Photography.

Application

Applying the tack to the surfaces was a 3 person job at least. It required two persons to hold the opposing ends taught and a third person to smooth and discourage air bubbles from forming as the tack was applied. Edges of the sheets were secured with Contact Adhesive.

Studio Tack : Care and Replacement

The most effective way to clean the surface was to use lighter fluid and cotton wool. Pouring a small amount of lighter fluid onto the surface and leaving it a few seconds before wiping seemed to work best. It was a part of our checks (both pre show and at the interval) to look for marks made by shoes or furniture, if these marks were deemed obvious they would be removed as best possible.

Bubbles

Air Bubbles were almost inevitable and the most effective way of removing them was to use a small knife and pierce the edge of the bubble carefully and smooth out the air with a cloth.
