Wool serge provides the best material for masking.

This heavy weight material is durably fire retardant and has less sheen than velour. Perfect for covering masking legs and borders or for making tabs.

Serge is not normally glued to flats but just folded back on itself and stapled. If glue is needed around profiled edges we recommend Flints cyclorama glue used dry with a little pva or Copydex on the edges.

If wing flats are being used to mask lanterns it may be necessary to double cover in bolton and then serge.
