All I can think of is to build a PCV frame and use some Snap Clamps.

Hi, Shov had a great idea he glued the sheets onto thick cardboard panels.

like sed above you could just cut out card board the same length as your walls and staple it to that and prop them against the walls. personally i get small pieces of card board maybe a 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and have a buddy hold the mylar film and staple the cardboard to the mylar to the wall.
or there always 3M double sided tape.

Even with spray-glue and cardboard there will still be "hot-spots" if you use Mylar, or any flat foil.

I highly recommend Reflectix insulation.

It's about as stiff as good cardboard.
Very lightweight and easy to work with.
The surface is "bubbleized" to prevent hot-spots.
It reflects 97% of full spectrum from both sides. (excellent insulator).
Relatively inexpensive. A 4' X 25' X 5/16" roll runs about $50.

I love this stuff. Am using a panel of it outdoors. to reflect sunlight. (Try that with Mylar!)

Lined a small, 2' X 3', air-conditioned room where I ferment wine and have to hold the temp at 68 degrees F. 24/7.
Ambient is about 82 F.
With the Reflectix installed it only eats 1.14 Kwh. per day to hold 48 cubic feet to + or - 1 degree F.!

We pay $.44 per Kwh. here.
(:cursingon't get me started)

So that's about Fiddy Cent per day or $15 per month!
A bit more than a good refrigerator of that size, but not by much.:thumbsup:

Put away the glue and cardboard, Shove', the future is now!
