Cyc Repairs??

Calling all theatre Peeps who know things, I have been asked a question that I do not know the answer to so I put it out there and maybe someone of fantastic knowledge knows the solution...

Well I have a cyclorama that is made of (possibly muslin, not 100% sure) but alas it has been attacked by children who have managed to place three hand size holes right in the middle (cries a tear). But the question I have been asked is there any way to repair it with little evidence that it has been damaged?? I have thought of stitching it or super glue... but then thought maybe someone out there might know of an alternative solution, some sort of fandangle new product that exists for sad broken cyc's..

Thanks in advance :)

If it's unrepairable....as in the above tip doesn't work....try cutting out the middle,damaged section. Seam the cut edges. You then have two, albeit smaller, cycs which are about as much use as chocolate tea pots but ... might be used for reveals? Also, I have known an enthusiastic set designer who painted a gorgeous scene on a damaged one and it became a back drop. (very clever art work in the area of the damage, oh look, it's a mountain!) Have you strangled the children?? Their minders?? Both??? We used the threaten the theatre users with death if they so much as breathed on ours but that's a little anti social I believe. Good luck with the repair, hope it works! "Life is too short to stuff a mushroom"

If it's unrepairable....
