Woozy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I've tried gorilla tape and that silver reflective tape but it all keeps coming off due to heat or can't hold the weight of my mylar covering the walls, it's mostly stuck up with glue but with tape on the joins and overlaps. Any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bad. Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 How about fixing it to the wall with screws and washers to stop the Mylar from ripping mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Not all foil tape is created equally, get some proper vapour tape and its thicker than turkey foil , sticks like fuck to absolutely everything 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock1 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Why don't you just use a wall fixing duct & the property screw tightening fixings? It's a little more expensive but it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 cut duct tape squares and put on mylar, then staple thru the tape to fix it to the wall 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handysmoker Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Professional grade gaffa tape ... I used it in the film industry as a grip, and it sticks like a gecko on glass 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 100% use gaffer tape, they’re also incredibly easy to rip but stick to anything no matter what. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The silver stuff that came with my old fan/cf combo is incredibly sticky, held since the day it was applied. I had to remove it the other day to pack up my 60x60x160 tent setup, was a right nightmare getting it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got lucky then .... it's crap nowadays, it's too thin ... the stuff i got needed replacing after a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it sits right on top of some kingspan insulation so screwing it won’t work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
