reflextics - well the shiny bubble wrap type stuff
#57
Experimenting with a piece of reflectix and a piece of foam board from the Dollar Tree...the foam board is available in black or white so I got one of each to play with. So far I’ve only messed with the white.

The sliding door got reflectix and it fit nice but shows from the outside. Kind of ugly. The rear side window got the white foam board. I like it that you can’t tell the foam board is there from the outside. The foam board is not big enough to do any of the other windows in one piece. I wonder how it will hold up in heat. I wonder if two pieces will go in together. I wonder if two can go but leave a gap for a screen have a fill in then have a more foam board option. I’m thinking about gluing some fabric to the inside face of the foam board to see how it will look, insert and hold up. What glue? I’ll be experimenting just a bit. Has anybody already done some experimenting with the foam boards? I had to use my kitchen scissors to cut that stuff. Reflectix is much easier to cut to shape. Reflectix will roll up and get out of the way when needed. Both go in the windows and have stayed in just fine. Both are light weight. I haven’t tried taking the foam board in and out a few times. The reflectix moves in or out just fine.
I'm not lost. I'm exploring.
