Install the new gelstring
Note: Use good quality gaffer's tape to attach the gelstrings to the rollers.
Do not use
duct tape or masking tape.
Be sure the roller is clean. The tape should be 2/3 of the
roller length and apply the tape “lengthwise” on the roller.

1. Put a strip of gaffer's tape on the edge
of the gelstring trailer. Holding the trailer, let
the rest of the roll hang off the right side of
the color changer.
2. Center the edge of the trailer between
the two flanges of the left roller as shown to
the left. Tape the trailer along the top of the
roller as shown.
3. Roll the gelstring onto the left roller
until the end of the leader is directly above
the right roller.
4. Put a strip of gaffer's tape on the
gelstring leader.
5. While holding the end of the gelstring,
turn the right roller toward the left roller. The
sticker at the bottom end of the roller has a
black line on it to help you judge the number
of turns.
6. Tape the gelstring to the right (spring)
roller.
Note: Use the maximum number of spring roller turns for gel strings with the maximum
number of frames. Use less turns for shorter gelstrings. Refer to the gelstring tension
chart below for the exact number of turns for your color changer/gelstring combination.
