Polyurethane WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF JAIL!

[gotot]

i was watching Into The Woods on MNBC about a guy who kidnapped a girl and lived in the woods planning to get back at the police dept.. anyways long story short, they were doing an interview with this guy and he said the reason the helicopters couldn't see his thermalreading was because of a material called Polyurethane... he actually walked around in the woods with this material over his head while the police were searching for him undetected... if you coat your whole grow room with this material the police will not be able to detect your heat readings... your welcome

Has anyone really got busted this way? Shit, is it even legal?

Every day on here I read someone paranoid about the helicopters coming, but i've never heard of anyone getting busted. It might be because I live in rural Pennsylvania and they don't have helicopters...

hell ya bro, tons have gotten busted for too hot of a growroom! watch this if you don't believe me, http://www.spike.com/full-episode/marijuana-grow-house/27490. bottom line, no city has enough money to look at the whole city through thermal cams, they just do it on suspected grow houses.

yes, they do use thermal readings b4 obtaining a warrant http://www.spike.com/full-episode/marijuana-grow-house/27490

what he said... so get your Polyurethane b4 it's too late!!!.. you're where they expect people to be growing weed... police know most weed is grown in th suburbia, and it's easy to spot a growhouse with some much space in between houses

Gary Cooper showed some FLIR images - He didn't show any grow rooms lit up like I imagined it would look - what he showed was the heat venting outside of the house from people dumping heat / odor outside.

my room is made up of 1 inch thick styrofoam. walls, floor, ceiling, etc...

it is also 100% sound proof and does not leak any heat out.

 

[GlassFreak]

you have to be a suspect befor they even think about bringing it that far. thats for larger grows like whole basements. and POLYURETHANE is plastic... i have 2 layers of plastic sheeting lining my grow room, true it helps but its not compleatly heat proof... multiple layers with some sort of insulation between them would be best.

it was actually oe of those fireproof blankets, apparently they're made partly out of polyurethane

ahhh mylar, its a plastic sheat with some kind of metal bonded to it, if you rub a spot on it it will rub off and just be clear plastic. but yea for that kind of thing maybe but idk for stationary constantly hot areas. the heat has to go somewere.

are fire blakets made of mylar? didnt know that.. mylars like .001 of an inch... maybe in thicker layers it's ore durable

Can you post a link for that? Ive only seen FLIR from military aircrafts, never seen one used on a house. Thank you in advance

Polyurethane is a closed-cell foam insulation material that contains a low-conductivity gas (usually hydrochlorofluorocarbons or HCFC) in its cells. The high thermal resistance of the gas gives polyurethane insulation materials an R-value typically around R-7 to R-8 per inch.
Over time, the R-value of polyurethane insulation can drop as some of the low-conductivity gas escapes and air replaces it. This phenomenon is known as thermal drift. Experimental data indicates that most thermal drift occurs within the first two years after the insulation material is manufactured. The R-value then slowly decreases. For example, if the insulation has an initial R-value of R-9 per inch, it will probably eventually drop to R-7 per inch. The R-value then remains unchanged unless the foam is damaged.
Polyurethane insulation is available as a liquid sprayed foam and rigid foam board. It can also be made into laminated insulation panels with a variety of facings.






IMO this reflectix stuff is better, it has a metal part that helps even more.

It's Barry Cooper, not Gary, lol.

Here is Barry's video on FLIR cameras.

youtube is your friend. smoke a bowl and enjoy.......

FLIR can only see what it has a direct line of sight to. Notice in the video, if the people walked infront of the car, it didn't look through them and detect the heat from the cars behind them.

I just put an Air con in my room sits at 24 degree celcius which is not hot for where im from...

 

[boggermania]

i use a commerical rubber used for flat roofs on schools and hospitals ect. I do construction work so i can find it on most job sites in scrap or somedays i may ask the roofers for a piece to fix my back porch roof (ha ha) it works great its pure white on one side and gray on the other seems to work great

 

[korvette1977]

If you surround your grow room with insulation (R-13) you wont be able to see the light leaks anyway and the insulation will protect the heat from escaping , You'll just need to have an inline fan

i read somewhere on here its now illegal for em to do thermal readings b4 they get a warrant...ie they need the warrant to use it against u, it used to be they could use thermal readings to get a warrant. so if they use the reading b4 a warrant ur in the clear of any resulting legal issues

technically they need a warrant, but like on the DEA spike show all thye needed was suspicion. even if that is the case, lets say they aren't looking even looking for you but they're doing thermal readings in the area and your house just happens to be in the frame, i'm pretty sure that's enough probable cause to initiate a stakeout
