does aluminum foil work?

[passmethebigofatty]

i know it probably doesnt work as well as mylar but would aluminum foil help to keep from loosing light?:)

[JakeTheCorgi]

its better than nothing....dude dont look for mylar, you wont find it....
go to walmart, in the sporting goods section they sell little $2 'emergency blankets'...same shit.

It probably will work but it's more intense (which could cause burning) and I heard that it's not as effective as mylar.

I use the cheap emergency blankets. they are quite big.

If you do use foil (I use some) use the dull side out.

ok, there are two numbers u need to worry about when selecting your reflector, the reflectivity(notice, this is proly not a word lol) and the amount it takes in... lol

mylar(space blankets) are about 92-8=100
92% is reflected,8% is taken in, and disassembled into other formes of energy(heat,sound(dought it),yata yata)
:D pay attention to school shit lol:rasta:

I do believe that aluminum foil actually absorbs...buy mylar, you can't go wrong.
