Reflectix tape good for lining grow box?

[lakers3021]

hey guys-

i was at home depot today and came across some rolls of reflectix foil tape. I was wondering if you guys think this would be ok to line my grow box with.

I used it or something very similar to light proof the edges of my window, that with posterboard and electrical tape. I also use it for taping ducting and hoods together.

I think it would be a waste of bread to line a box with, especially if its a big box. They say flat white is the best thing, although i used a semi-gloss white in mine for more durability when i wipe it down.

To sum it up, you might as well use foil... and we all know that sucks. Flat white or mylar dude. keep it easy ~caddy

if you use white pant have the clerk add some titanium oxide it's a whitener, and no not all white pant is the same, this stuff will make it brighter helps reflect more light and it's a fungus inhibitor.

The one thing I've noticed with this reflective foil tape is that it does tend to come off easily when it's under heat for a few days. It's also not as flexible as duct tape, but for your purposes, that really doesnt matter.

I lined a growbox once with this stuff. It really wasn't that bad but I'm sure flat white paint will do the job and is less labor intensive.
