On Friday 22nd August, we had our very own annual 'Flintstone Pub Quiz' created and hosted by the amazing Cat and Michelle! This was a great chance for the team to unwind, have some fun, and be sociable outside of work.

Jack, Kilian, and Simon AKA 'wait, what was the last question?' took home the gold with 109.5 points in total!

Once again we would like to thank Cat and Michelle for creating such a great evening for everyone and really putting their all into it!🍻🏅

We received some questions about the Chalk Pens in our latest video, so we hope this clears a few things up!

Chalk Pens are a sustainable alternative to LX Tape as they produce less waste.

Chalk Pens do not easily remove, and will slightly stain. If you are a touring production, it is not recommended you use Chalk Pens for your marking out.

However, if you are a permanent production and want quick marks that will not rub off easily, Chalk Pens may just be perfect for you. The Liquid Chalk stands up well to traffic and scuffing, as well as being water resistant.

Please note, when you do finally want to remove them, they can stain lighter coloured surfaces and don't remove completely from the deep matt black finish of Flints Black, so would need some touching up after removal.

Stage Mark / LX Tape / PaperTak / Chalk Pens

4 Different Products, each with useful applications, but which one is the quickest for marking out? We decided to put it to the test.

🥇 Chalk Pens - We've heard that customers were trying out chalk pens as a more sustainable alternative to single use tape, which can't be recycled or reused. With Chalk Pens, it is easy to just draw around things. Although very quick, it is also the most difficult of the four options to remove, whether accidentally or deliberately.

🥈 Stage Mark - Very quick and simple for marking out, won't come up when being walked over or having pieces of set move over it. Invented by a stage manager, for stage managers. Saves time and creates less waste.

🥉 PaperTak - Was invented as a more sustainable option to LX Tape. It is a paper-based tape with a natural rubber adhesive. You can easily tear it with your hands, making it quicker than LX tape as no fiddling around with scissors required. Due to its nature of being paper based, it may leave behind a residue when peeled off, however a bit of Rustins Sticky Off will do the trick nicely.

🏅 LX Tape - The old reliable. Takes the most time but also what everyone is used to and happy with. Won't come off when people and sets are moving over it and won't leave behind much residue.
