Mylar better than flat white?

Here's the chart of percentages of light reflected from Jorge's latest:

Foylon 94-95
Reflective Mylar 90-95
Flat white paint 85-93
Semi-gloss white 75-80
Flat yellow 70-80
Aluminum Foil 70-75
Black < 10

There ya go, and when you buy the flat white paint, tell the paint guy to mix in a packet of fungicide.

funnyhow he forgot the best product available.. ?

VISQUEEN... light proof, reflective, black on one side white on the other... once you use visqueen .. your MONEY...

Many growers call that Panda Plastic, vizqueen is a different kind of plastic sheeting.

And the white side of Panda Plastic would be close to "semi-gloss white," which you can easily see by the chart is the same as flat yellow.

I believe the "best product available" is foylon.

Lol. PR, I think you should deduct atleast one rep point from GK for being a dip shit again. Hehehe. And make sure you tell him that its only 85% reflective if he uses the right side. lol. Sorry I havent been on much I hope Both of you guys are doing good.

i think you are on to something..

not only put it up correctly.. but clean it regulary...

kind like sex.. if you have 20 minutes of forplay it is always better (MYLAR)...

But it is still great if you only have 2.3 minutes of forplay (white paint)...

cheers
