gelling a studio light

what can I use to gel my flash CTO. I need something for the weekend and I don't have time to order one online. I need a large sheet for use on a strobe.

any craft stores sell anything that will work?

Check to see if you have any theatrical supply stores near you. They carry gels in whole sheets. The rosco web site has a list.

Craft stores wouldn't have anything color corrected.

Yeah be careful with some of the craft stores stuff, if you have a modeling light, it could burn.

between having young kids and my own arty stuff, i'm in and out of craft stores all the time … i've never seen anything that could pass for a sheet of CTO Gel.

definitely look for theatrical supply stores, I live in a not too populous area and have found a couple around that claim to have gel in stock. Never actually visited them through

you're right outside of Philly? you should have no problem finding either a theatrical company or a even a camera store that would have it.

there is one in the city. I ended up not needed some til next weekend so I just bought some from adorama.
