Don't crease or crumple it, though, it's not as good if it's wrinkled.

Then you'll need to grow one extra arm at least. Anyone that can cover anything with mylar without creasing it up is a fuggin hero in my book.

Fair point, but don't do what I did with my first lot, and crumple it into ball to hide under the bed when the landlord comes round. It doesn't like it

Hullo,
Is the plain silver wrapping paper just the same as the mylar you get from growshops?
I just bought 5 meters of it for £1.25 from my local card shop, seems to be pretty reflective. Reckon it will do the job?

Very interesting Mr Bond, I'll have to try cos I simply cannot work cling film, I use about half a roll to wrap a pork chop, it just sticks to bloody everything, and it seeks itself out, you can see it moving towards itself.
It's alive I tells thee.

Ah well, though it was to good to be true
Just had a search for it, £15 for 5m including postage which is a bit more than the £1.25 but not bad compared to some companies selling it.
