Ordered Velcro For Securing My Green Screen To The PVC Stand

Last night I played a game of PGA Tour 2K21 with a friend. I was talking to him about the green screen I am making for my youTube and Twitch channels:
- When I am streaming live on Twitch I will be able to show just my face. This will have minimal interference on the game I am playing.
- When I am filming for youTube I will be able to include some nature photos in the background. I thoroughly enjoy nature photography. These will make a nice background.
He gave me an idea I am going to use for securing the green screen to the frame I've made. He suggested I use Velcro. I was going to use double sided tape. Eventually tape will be affected by humidity. The use of Velcro should work well in the long run. Since I stream live almost every night I won't be putting the green screen away between uses. I think there is a lot of wisdom in this.
I was suppose to have medications delivered this morning. The pharmacy had a computer fault and aren't able to deliver until this afternoon. This has changed my plans for today. Instead of going to the fabric store I've decided to place an online order so this will be delivered to my home.
I've decided to purchase 2 inch wide Velcro. This will make it easiest to connect the green screen to the PVC frame. I've made the frame using 1 inch PVC conduit. Using 2 inch wide will allow the green screen to wrap around the top and bottom pieces. It will have lots of surface area to keep the green screen even and not create shadows.
- I will use my sewing machine to join the fuzzy side to the green screen.
- I am going to use rivets with washers to secure the prickly side to the 1 inch PVC frame.
I think the use of will keep the green screen on the frame. It also makes changing the green screen easy in the event it becomes damaged. I am pleased with this advice.
