I have a question about how to set up the tarp/netting/memory foam behind my screen. My setup is a carls preferred screen that is mounted about 5-6" from an unfinished wall with studs. I purchased a 2" memory foam mattress topper to hang behind the screen to deaden the impact/bounce back. I also have white archery netting behind the screen as well. I just purchased 2 different heavy duty tarps from amazon (a black and a white one) and I plan to use one and return the other hopefully. Projector is an optoma GT1090HDR and the sim will be in a dimly lit room when in use.

White tarp: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My question is how to optimally layer these items in order to achieve the best projection picture and minimal bounce back, and whether to use black or white heavy duty tarp. I really want to avoid the outlines of the netting and the mattress pad from leaking through my screen, and I hope to have a nice, vivid picture, with clean edges. The way I am leaning toward right now is carls preferred screen, then black tarp, then white netting, then memory foam, then wall. Some of my questions/curiosities:
1. Does anybody have any input on that order of layers?
2. Would black or white tarp be better for picture?
3. If I went with white tarp, would it do an adequate job preventing bleed through of my mattress pad/netting? or should I go with black?
4. I've read some data points about black tarp marking up or staining the impact screen, and this is a major worry of mine. Anybody have issues or success with black tarp directly behind screen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
