Using Polarizing Sheets

Our take

Hello everyone! I'm seeking your expertise on a photography challenge. While shooting framed artwork in a gallery and studio space, I utilize a polarizing filter on my camera lens and a polarizing sheet over my softbox. However, I've encountered an issue with seams, as the available polarizing sheets come in 17" wide strips, and my softbox is wider. Currently, I've been using a smaller strip secured with black gaffer tape, but I'm hoping for a more effective solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! Looking for some advice. I am shooting photos of framed artwork in a gallery and studio space. I use a polarizing filter on my camera lens, as well as a polarizing sheet over my light/softbox. I've only been able to find rolls of Polarizing sheets in 17" wide strips. My softbox is a bit wider, and when I lay my polarizing sheets over it there is a seam. I'm wondering if anyone has found any solutions to the seam? The best I have found is laying another smaller strip of polarizng film over the seam and securing it with black gaf tape (photo in comments for reference). I'm sure there's a better solution, any ideas?
