Hello, I ordered a designer white (DW) Wilsonart (WA) laminate. I paid around 80 dollars for a 5x12 sheet type 101 from their factory in St. Paul, MN. I hope the order is ready to pick up next week.
I'd like to be ready to put up the screen the moment I get it home. The first method I imagined was to just set it upon some wood to give it the elevation it needs and let it just stand as perfectly straight as I can get it.
However, I have seen several threads of people making various frames for the laminate, and I always wonder, why? Is there a good reason to put the assumed flat laminate on a flat surface and screw/velcro/nail/glue/whatever it on?
I have seen a thread where an individual placed their laminate on a curved surface, this is something I have imagined doing myself, but I avoid the idea in my mind due to the complexity of the idea seeming not to warrant the effort (lazy). So, is putting a flat surface against nothing a bad idea? I imagined putting a few holes on the laminate and hanging it from the ceiling, like a sheet of paper in a binder.
I assume I understand very little about the ideas of ideal projector setup. I've read a lot about black out cloth (boc); is it ideal to place BOC next to the edge of where the projected image ends? If so, why?
