Polyshield?

From what I have read and researched it is the only thing that works in all cases. I'm getting some as soon as I can. I have a insulated cab with foil allready but it never hurts to step the sizzle screen up a notch.

For a cab, I think it would be easy to line with B&W poly, use a can of aerosol adhesive to sandwich a layer of Mylar, then more B&W poly on top. Got that idea from the other RF thread above.
 
Save your loot Reflectix 4'x 25' Foil Insulation this is the same stuff they sell at
bghydro . $48.67 US

Reflectix® is a 5/16" thick, seven layer, reflective insulation
Two outer layers of aluminum foil reflect 97% of radiant heat. Each layer of foil is bonded to a tough layer of polyethylene for strength
Two inner layers of insulating bubble pack resist conductive heat flow while a center layer of polyethylene gives Reflectix® high reliability and strength
Reflectix® reflects the sun's rays in the hot summer months. It also retains interior heat and helps to eliminate potentially damaging ice dams during the winter months.
As the Lowes ad says.

poly shield has i believe its 9 metals blended into it, its just like regular panda paper, just a little more thicker. but 150-200 a 10x100ft roll at your local hydrostore, it depends on if you wanna gamble it or not.

I'm using the polyshield. I've had it for at least half a year now. Had a friend get it for me, I'll ask him where he gets it. I know that he ordered it and was a bit mad because the box came advertising polyshield all over it.

One thing about the polyshield is that it keeps your grow room from fluctuating with outside tempatures as much. It heated the grow room up in the winter and actually helped me keep it cooler in the summer.

anybody have proof of this?
(proof doesn't have to be substantial, just a yeah it seems to work, or more of an explanation of your usage)

More so I don't want to buy some of this stuff, and then find out that even though it cost half as much, it doesn't do the same as polyshield...
