I always used red cloth and with competitive exhibits; white cardboard.

A couple times at F.U.N. I brought Seymour's work to life with four display cases with each featuring Ivory, Mother-of-Pearl, Casino and European Jetons and Plaques.

One night during a strong storm there was a roof leak at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando... and, as huge as that building was, the leak was directly over my exhibit table and directly between two of the four cases which were spaced 2-inches apart.... Security noticed the leak and covered the cases with plastic sheeting and not a drop rain touched any of the cases.
