[20080] PVC Vinyl Studio Backdrop | White (with Black Backing) | 2.6 x 5m | Includes ⌀50mm Aluminium Core

✓  Avoid shoes with rubbery dark soles

Dark soles are the kryptonite of PVC backdrops. Any scuff marks created by such shoes can be extremely tricky to remove -- if not impossible. To avoid scuff marks, ask people to remove their shoes before trodding onto the backdrop. If this is unavoidable, ask your models to stand on sheets of paper or a piece of white cloth. Otherwise, you can apply masking tape to the bottom of their shoes. If you do get black scuff marks on your backdrop, you can apply some Tipex or white paint to disguise it. 

✓  Keep it in the studio

PVC backdrops are not the most portable backdrops going around. They are quite heavy and cannot be folded like a piece of cloth. When traveling with a PVC backdrop, chances are you may need to stick a portion of it through one of your car's windows (unless you have a bakkie or big SUV). If you need to travel around with a PVC backdrop, be sure not to clamp the roll in between your car's window and door frame. This will create a pinch mark and may be difficult to remove. Instead, use a towel or many layers of bubble wrap to protect your backdrop.
