Mylar

What's good for putting mylar up on cement walls? duct tape isnt cutting it. merry christmas yo.

i dont know?,but you could paint the cement with flat white,that would help over being gray

lol im really high but would glue work?... maybe? lol

yeah you could use some strong water based glue so it dosnt eat through the mylar,check out home dump.

I used a small dab of liquid nails but caulk will hold it too.Just a dab here and there.

I used a strong spray adhesive. 3M makes a good one. Spray your concrete, then spray your mylar. Let both sides "tack" up a little and then stick them together.

I'm going to guess that means you are putting it up on a basement wall, and I'm going to guess there's been moisture in said wall turning the wall too chalky for duct tape to hold.

Mylar creates a barrier stopping air from getting to that moisture, which will soon grow mold behind you mylar and then could spread to the plants pretty easily.

Never use mylar or anything similar on a basement wall directly.

If you can't space it out away from the wall and hang it or stretch it on a frame away from the wall, don't use it.

Any outside walls have this problem actually, even indoors in the house on an insulated wall. Walls breathe, people don't understand this.

Use flat white Behr ultra pure white wall paint if you can't fix it another way. It's as effective as mylar that isn't perfectly flat and more effective than even slightly dirty mylar.

Either way you should use a sealer on that wall before anything, be it paint or whatever. One made specifically to seal basement walls.


my 2 cents

idk there is white paint over it i just wanted to put mylar up. i c what your saying about the mold but there is already a thrick layer of white paint over the cement on my walls. would the paint block enough moisture so i could hang the mylar over it?

just tape it on the wall problem solved

i tried using duct tape but it falls off i was just looking for an alternative

how about mylar tape it is about 100 time stickier than duct tape abd you can find it for like 4 quid for a 10mtr roll

also try some nails in the wall and a whole through the corners of the mylar
and get the little plasters for your feet when you have corns and stick them eitherisde of the mylar, they should stick strong enough to hold the nail without riping

also will stop heat spots on the wall as you can keep it a few mill away from the wall also it will stop trapped moisture and stop mould

easiest solution for me would to make a frame out of either 2x4 or 1x4 wood...then wrap with mylar/panda film

ftw i panda film. the frame idea sounds good bro. i hate it when that shit crinkles. seems like the way to go.

i made the frame 4X7 it worked great. just framed plywood onto the wall and painted it then wallpapered it on. it worked great thanks
