Hi All

I am working on building a projector screen. I have purchased some blackout cloth. Im not sure what side to use for the screen. One side is kind of a smooth rubbery type material, the other side has more of a fabric feel to it.

Any help would be great

I used the textured side, it wasn't as shinny. I also painted my screen, figuring the paint would adhere better to that side.


Peace Out~

Can you get blackout cloth at home depot? And do they cut it for you?

LaMarcus, the best place for blackout fabric is a fabric store. I believe all Home Depot has is a kind of canvas material.

Ah. Neil where the hell is 43 degrees north and 79 degrees west? I've always wanted to ask you that.

If it were exactly at 43°N/79°W, it would be right on Grand Island.

Maybe Neil will give us the minutes and seconds, and then we'll have a map straight to his house.
