What is an effective way to put up mylar? My ideas as of now are either thumbtacks or double sided tape. What does everyone out there use?

when using mylar its important you get all the creases out or it will cause heat spots and burn your plant.
so i fix mine to hardboard,i cut the mylar a little bigger than the board fold it round the edges and tape in place then i slide my board in place you can wipe it clean and keep using it.
p.s. cover the hardbosrd in plastic first so you can wash it clean.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I put a small square of white duct-tape where needed, and stick a staple thru it ... :jointsmile:

I use the real duct tape - the shiny silver stuff.

same tape, just colored white ... any heavy tape works, to act as a 'washer' for the staple, so it won't tear through the Mylar ... :smokin:
