I coated a piece of cardboard with strips of Shurtape DC 181 to make a shade-reflector for my CFL's. Appears to work so far.

Also have a huge roll of Reflectix... that is reflective bubble-wrap type insulation used for radiant barriers. Anyone use this stuff? Looks like mylar. I'll report back...

radtek Reviewed by radtek on . mylar substitute? hello, i couldn't find mylar anywhere and i can't paint the walls of my growcloset, so instead I bout this shiny metallic silver paper at an arts and crafts store. Was this a waste of money? should I even hang it up? and for some reason I feel like if i use this paper im gonna start a fire or something, has anybody else used metallic paper like this? also is there anything else i could use for the walls besides mylar and white paint Rating: 5
