Cyc Repairs??

your best hope is iron on mender, iron the cyc as flat as you can then apply the white iron-on mender to the back, sewing nearly always leaves pull marks and if all that fails we can probably sell you a new one at a good price. A general tip for buying a cyc, if you can be flexible on the size you can sometimes save a lot of money as the cyc cloth is 9m wide there is lots of wastage.If you can use the offcuts it is much cheaper.

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"
