"Sizing" a shadow screen with white glue, presumably to make it more opaque 
may not be the best solution. If the muslin is new, a 1 to 6 mix is what we 
sometimes use to prepare scenery for a primer coat.  That fills the fabric 
and doesn't crack visibly.  For s screen that won't be painted, spray starch 
might be an option.  Most times when I'm using cloth, which I prefer, I use 
clean bedsheets, washed once and ironed with no additives.  Are you trying 
to get a screen that will diffuce light enought so the source won't be 
visible as a hot spot behind the screen?
