We had only 1 week to produce the stage flooring and backdrop for Mark Ronson and The Business International tour.
The design by Patrick Woodroffe, we used Cascade flooring from British Harlequin with exceptionally speedy delivery (thank you Anita!) The team first mapped out the grid which proved to be a testing of mathematical wits, especially working 16th size for the backdrop! The flooring was then de-greased and the first coat applied using Bristol paint mixed 50/50 with Aqualak. A further 2 coats were necessary to achieve a solid finish. The grid lines were then overlaid with neat Bristol Aqualak for a tough, durable finish and left to cure for 72 hours. (Whilst back2front washed their paint brushes, had a cup of tea and danced to Mark Ronson)
The end result is very striking. Quite often the simpler designs are the best !
A very catchy number too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=savi6OsaCBc
