[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 16156, member: 47"] Re: Lycra/spandex backdrop Shane, I know what you mean, but I think every state has 'Assembly Occupancy' rules governing fire retardancy of decorations and theatrical scenery. I do most of my work in Quebec which is the wild west as far as inspections are concerned, but I also do a lot of work within universities which tend to have their own (effective) safety measures. I agree they don't often pay attention to AC (let alone SJ vs SO, or closed back, etc) but I've been asked to show the sewn-in certificate on my humble backdrop before. Bradford (or BJ, if you prefer), If you find a good Canadian supplier, do share. I would start calling local production companies myself or look up theatrical supplies. You might also be looking for ''stretch fabric'' and not spandex, as spandex is inherently unsafe and resistant to long term topical treatment (but the name is still used by some to describe some similar (and safe) fabrics).
