Cutting and mounting a gel string
Drawing:
Step 1
Use cutting templates provided by us or make your own as described above.
Use a razor or a sharp knife to cut the filters.
Step 2
Align filters correctly, no overlapping.
Step 3
Tape only on one side. Cut ends of exessive joining tape. Use only high temperature tape
Scotch 3M. Avaible from us.
A gel roll can have 2-16 colours and will always consist of two leaders measuring as
above and filters inbetween measuring 280 x 208 mm. You can vary the size of the gels
but the maximum total length trat a scroller can be trimmed for is 4480 mm.
Hint1:
When preparing spare rolls, take care to store rolls with the joining tape outwards and the
end colour outward. It is then easier to mount the gel string on the spool with the black
knob as described further on.
Hint2:
Dark coloured filters will react to heat and become deformed earlier than lighter coloured
filters. This can effect the positioning of the other filters if the darker filters are placed as
the last filters, thus being rolled up most of the time. Therefore it is a good idea to place
darker filters closer to the start colour than to the end colour.
