Anyone ever give this a try?
I realize it would be expensive to line a room with, but it’s a high visibility, reflective mylar.

I use nothing but Flat White Paint. Hated Mylar but to each his own.

Both work. What didn't you like about the mylar Hopper?

That and a pain in the ass to get smooth and keep clean.
I am starting to think Weedhopper had a traumatic experience as a child that involved Mylar, lol.
Anyway, I get this stuff for free. I also have a bunch of 1/8” thick 3’x4’ white vinyl panels that I was thinking about lining the room with ( I can get all I want of those for free as well) , or I can cover the panels with Mylar before I staple them to the wall.
The first pic shows a side by side comparison of the scan back and shiny silver Mylar.
There is around 500 feet of material on the roll of scan back, and it is 8 inches wide.
The 2nd pic is the scan back outside in the sun.
The 3rd pic is a piece of scan back stuck on top of the shiny silver Mylar in my temporary veg closet.
Hey don't bring up dark shit I was trying to forget.
They were repotted about 15 minutes before I took the picture.

I bought mylar emergency blankets from ebay, 12 pack for dirt cheap. My room is 4x8x7 stick framing so I just put a square of aluminum duct tape everywhere I staple them so they don't rip. They are thhiiiiiiinnnnn!
The only drawback is they are not completely light-blocking so I had to put a tarp over the tent to block out all light

I used the same stuff to cover my, ahem, flat white walls. I really liked it until I read this thread and learned my existing white walls would have been just as effective.

I agree. I watched a test from MIGRO on YouTube on white walls vs. Mylar using a par meter. Had I seen that video prior I would of just painted white because it would if been a lot less hassle. I have a layer of fiberglass sheet up as well so it would I've been just as easy to paint them white spray can, probably would have blocked off a lot more light
At least the stuff was cheap.
