How can I get one of those cool ReadySet t-shirts?!
Give us a call! We’re happy to give out shirts to our beloved clients and other industry friends if we’ve got enough in stock. (We do accept trades, though.)
Do you sell plywood, muslin, paint, etc.?
Short answer: yes. We can mix paint for you. We stock pre-assembled paint kits that have what you need to paint shapes and walls. We offer muslin and canvas to cover walls for painting. We can sell you molding and other raw materials if we have it on hand.
What is a ‘jack’?
Jacks (or jack-stands) are used to keep a wall or other standing object from tipping over. Essentially they are reinforced legs of plywood that are attached with screws onto the back of an object. Once attached, sandbags are placed on the foot of a jack to weigh it all down.
How do you hide the seams between flats on walls?
We occasionally use spackle, but it requires some time to dry as well as to sand it to a smooth surface. The easiest, quickest, and cleanest method is to ‘stretch’ the wall by wrapping it in muslin or other material.
Where is ReadySet located?
Just over the East River from Manhattan in Greenpoint, Brooklyn–check out the About Us page for directions and other good info.
