thanks zandor rep+
you're a damn genius zandor
I used ductwork insulation. Its 2" insulation with a foil backing. It acts as an insulator/sealer for my room, and it reflects. Might not be as good as mylar for the reflection, but in my case, I kill three birds with one stone. My room is sealed, keeping the stink in, and its easier to keep the temperature where I want it, and it acts as a reflector. Lined the walls and ceiling with it, and sealed all the seams with the aluminum tape they sell with the insulation.
I cut up my falling apart car sunshade. Its amazing how much more reflective it is than white paint with the side lighting on my plants.
Dont be cheap, buy mylar :D.
mylar is cheap.. for 15$ you can get a 10x4 foot roll
and for 80$ you can get a 100x4 foot roll.
All depends on your setup.
wowow that made me smile thinking about that Zandor thanks
