I dont know much about mylar, i know its shiny. But iver never handled it, i assume its thick and bends like hobby wire.
My problem is my res and light covers are black, and they absorb heat. Im having a few heat concerns, its been hot latley, like 30 - 32 Celcius outside, ive managed to keep things around the 34 -35 mark.
Can i make a reflective thing to sit on top of the res out of aluminium kitchen foil? or will it just absorb the heat?
Also i know i need to reflect whatever leftover light i can back up into the canopy, is foil really that shiny or is it going to just fade out under the extreme light?
pics are a few days old, i know shes heat stressed![Sad :( :(](/styles/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
