In my area there aren't a whole lot of places to get any growing supplies without driving to Austin, but turns out Wal-Mart has mylar for pretty cheap. Just go to the camping and grab the emergency blanket that they sell for 1.98. Its an 82x54" sheet of mylar and depending on how big your room is 2 or 3 should be enough, the tiny box unfolds into a huge sheet. It's perfect for lining your box, and is a lot more reflective than foil.
Damn thats a GoooD Deal compared to all those damn Hydro shops
hmm, thought this was were every body bought theres
ebay sells emegency blankets for .99 each. I bought 10 and w/shipping it came to $16. They always seam to screw you on the shipping!they are a little over 28 sq.ft so thats 280 sq. ft for 16 bucks,dont know the millage,2 oz a piece, weight wise.
has anyone tried the reflectix? i couldnt find the mylar at wal mart so i tried this
its like reflective insulation
they are in the camping section at WM,and reflectix in Hm Dpt is way expensive but it does ad some insalatory value. I used in a van to keep the cooled air from heating up from the side metal,also dead'nd the sound. It is wrapped around a 55 gal drum of nutrients to keep temp moderated.peace
after reading a bit more about ebay/paypal i am not sure i would buy anything more from them they appear to be less than customer freindly with your info. dont think the blankets would be on any radar but who knows and who really wants to support a co that doesn't support there customers security.my own opin.
yeah walterpklondike i agree with you on that e-bay stuff, i hate that damn site, i used to be a ups reciever for ebay, ive seen stuff get soooooo messed up, i would def. go somewhere in person and buy my stuff
those space blankets are a godsend in a pinch too!!
They're way thinner -and wrinklier-than 'real' mylar and when you put them up you HAVE to reinforce the point of attchment with duct tape.
Not duct tape, foil tape! :)
many thanks, it was cheap and easy and I really doubt the "real mylar" is much better. Maybe like 1-5%. For 6 bucks I lined my 3x3 section and floor (2 packages, each has like 2.5 yards x 1.5 yards).
wow. that was a 3 year delay.
