Glass Gobo Orientation Coated glass gobos are inserted with the coating against the rim of the holder (away from the spring). Textured gobos are inserted with the smooth side against the spring. This provides the best results when combining rotating gobos. When an object is held up to the coated side there is no space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the gobo cannot be seen when looking through the coated side.
