the alternative to mylar

i forgot what it was.

i know tin foil sux, i cant get any mylar from the shops. what was the other sheeting that u can use for reflection.

my girl is round the shops atm so can get her to pick some up

get some silver christmas wrapping paper....i have white paper all around mine

u can also get what they call emergcy blanket or thrmole blanket can get at any sporting good store

thx ill try some silver paper or white paint. i know tin foil isnt an option. ill use that for my bongs

home depot has this shiny insulation for water heaters that's 99.9% refective... it's kiinda expensive, but... its like 40 bucks for a decent sized roll.

If you're gonna do the water heater jacket, shop around. I've got one and am a cheap bastard, so know I wouldn't have paid anywhere near 40 for it. Maybe 15.

im in the UK. dont have access to wal mart, home depot, target etc etc.

40 bucks for a roll?! thats like 20quid! ive seen mylar for 4quid which is like 10 dollars max

Best bet is to buy mylar online.

or you could just paint your grow space white until you find an alternative to mylar.

i've looked around and i can't find it for shit.




U.K all the way.

The white roof coating paint has the best reflective properties, 95% +

In the U.K we get what we can..
Were savages who scrounge to survive...

Haha.

Recycling that old paint is a good idea tho, no point leaving it in the shed to become all hard and icky.
