We were required to use fire retardant skirting at one of our (GMLTC) shows,
but I don't think GATS specifically required it. It's not a bad idea to just
go ahead and do it anyway, just in case:-)

We use velcro (and we thank the aliens who brought us this wonderful
technology;-)

Ah, well, a wife of one of the members generously custom made ours. Cost
would depend upon how much skirting you'd need, I suppose.

I think that they are *well* worth the investment. They really enhance the

skirting is a pain, but it adds so much in terms of making a layout look good
that I would highly recommend to every club to utilize it.

| (...) I'm uncertain as where to find fire retardant yardage to buy. I am guessing it would be fairly expensive. Did I read in a past post to Lugnet about a final rinse in Borax adding fire retardant properties to fabric. Is this correct? Does anyone (...)
