Toby Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi all I thought Ill share with the community some Xmas special macyver materials Mylar / Sisalation can be quite expensive when working on a tight budget. Found an awesome alternative. xmas gift wrapping paper, the foil version. Bought 3 rolls for R15 at Checkers. 2.1 square metres. Use the reverse side. I suggest stock up for future grows.

Dabtzar Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Good work. Hold it up to the light, If you see light thru it, it's not gonna reflect well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used double layer and seems to do the trick. For the price buying double is still worth it IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabtzar Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah totally. Just make sure you hang it flat as possible aswell. And be careful not to let mold grow behind it, if the RH get high. You can also use flat enamel white paint. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah I have prepped my surface by insulating my cab with marine ply. Then Im planning to use adhesive and apply the film like a tint onto the ply. Trying to apply it as smooth as possible. Ill try it on a small piece of ply first.

Dabtzar Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thats what im talking about. you will avoid hot spots like that. also remember that timber can hold bugs ect so maybe seal all your timber before covering it. also helps avoid mold from spilt water.
