mylar

I'm having problems finding mylar. None at walmart, home hardware or canadian tire. And I checked a couple other independently owned businesses. That's all there is in my home town. There isn't anything else for another 800 or so km. I'm broke and I'm willing to settle with paint I guess. I've gotta nother question since I'm already here. We will have a rather large excess of drywall compound. Will that work just as well? I'm thinking it might collect moisture because of it's texture. Maybe I'm wrong, it's called 'dry'wall compond after all.

Drywall must be painted with a primer so it isn't vulnerable to moisture. An oil based primer with a fungicide, then flat white paint for growing applications.

Walmart often carries cheap mylar emergency blankets in the camping supplies section. Make sure you get them to sit flat when you hang them up.

he said "I'm broke" .... :smokin:

Oh sorry lol, didnt see that. I better inform you I'm high after a 2 months break. I'm blaze xD.

I got a question...You said your broke...he said order it...then heeee said, He said He was broke...What I want to know! LOL How were you going to buy Mylar in your hometown?..if your broke:confused:

Anyway, sLOL, stinkyAttic was right on...you would have to paint the "mud" before it could be used for the inside of a grow room...I would just stay away from drywall "mud" in the growroom, period!

Just paint with flat white, a primer sealer is a good idea for longterm permanent room, but not necessary if you are on a budget...peace:smokin:

at walmart they have mylar as windshield blocker......pretty cheap...bout 5 bucks or soo...buttttttttt....you will need alot sooo.....since your broke as a joke....just paint it flat white....

And you know the other perennial question....

'If you're too broke to buy supplies, who's paying for the electricity?'

Plan ahead!

Moose, at Walmart the mylar is also in the camping section. Look for the Emergency Blanket which sells for $1.98 and is a 52in x 84in sheet of mylar.

My friend is doing his basment up for the upcoming school year, they just moved in, well he said he got a bunch of it for free somewhere in town, something because its a byproduct of aluminum
