ive seen it done...not the most efficient way to go.....and certainly a fire hazard....but it works (although i still dont recommend it). also a heavy duty white shower curtain creates a nice barrier. gl

sheets will only absorb a large amount of light... try stopping by yuor local art supplies store. they have lots of different color mylar for art projects etc. I reccomend either white or metalized mylar.. metalized mylar reflects 13 or so more precent of light then flat white paint

I have been using cotton sheets from Goodwill as a reflective surface for years.You can even put a layer of flat white paint to make a brighter surface.Theres no problem with heat.I hang each sheet( 2-3) over rods.I then tuck the sheets in at the bottom and pin them together on the sides.I blow the fan in one side and the sheets balloon to make a highly refective bubble around the plants.You can see the reflected light on the shade side of the buds.-usdi Agaluga
