Hello Everyone,
As you can see, I've definitely lurked around this DIY forum for several weeks. (along with other Audio Video topics in the further past). I understand if ya'll don't wanna help the guy who hasn't given any input back. BUT! Being the gentleman and scholars that you are, I wouldn't be surprised if I get some replies.
Anyways, I have a benq w1070 projector and am using Palight plastic for the screen material. Laird Plastics assured me that it is just a different brand of SINTRA. Online it states its an expanded closed cell pvc board, which I think is exactly what SINTRA is.
I've done my research (this forum), and started this project last week. I've decided to do a silver fire screen. I have all the paint required, the Earlex HV2901P and 1mm tip. I am ready to glue my board to my 1x4 built frame., where I will put duster coats on till its done. I'm putting a felt 4 inch border butting up to the Palight (wanted velvet but my gf's mom wanted to sell me felt where she works).
I'm sure I've overlooked some stuff, but here are the questions I have.
1. Is Palight acceptable?
2. In a living room that will see a good amount of natural sunlight during casual viewing, and only projecting 98", can my projector handle SF 4.0, or should I stick with my original plan of SF3.0?
3. How does one clean a SF screen?
I'm really nervous and excited about painting. This has consumed me over my last 2 weeks where I've been working midnight shift.
I'm at work now, so I don't have pictures. I'll put some up when I get time at home.
One of which is how I received a box from amazon with Metallic Silver Paint busted open and everything coated (including some carpet!)... haha
Thanks everyone. This online community is amazing.
Dugo
