Gel is slang for
gelatine
, now common called simply
color
. It is/was used to
color
theatre lights
. Gelatine is very
brittle
,
vulnerable
to
heat
and
humidity
, and
fades
quickly. It was common to use a
pounce wheel
to punch a series of
holes
to facilitate
air flow
to help
cool
the gel to prevent
burn out
. Gel has been replaced in the past couple decades by synthetics such as polyester. These synthetics tend to be more robust, and are less sensitive to heat and humidity. Most
theatre electricians
use a
grease pencil
to mark the
manufacturers number
on the gel, as there are over 1000 different colors. See also
