Hey man. I'm using aluminum foil in my closet. The shiny side is almost 90% reflective. I noticed a big difference as soon as put some up. Follow the link in my sig and feel free to comment.hi, i need somthing to use as a reflection system. first off, IS TIN FOIL A BAD IDEA??? if so whats bad about it and what wuld happen if i would use it ? please reply its important because im CFL growing in a small closet
I would flip it around on the backside where there's no pictures n stuff lol , but it may work the same on both sides.. dunno?socom3riot, is right
if you can't get mylar, get the wrapping paper
it works, really well!

ya hard to do for sure, pretty much impossible to not wrinkle foil unless u take like 10 hours doing ur place and do it absolutely perfectly. even then , ur bound to get some wrinkles.If you use aluminum foil make sure is is completely even and wrinkle free. It can reflect unevenly and create hot spots. I use white poster board. If you use a light meter and check the strength of reflection, you will find that white poster board reflects more light than aluminum foil and does so very evenly.
Reflectors are made of aluminum but they are specially molded to produce an even reflection. Hard to do with foil.
