or you could jsut paint the interior of your growspace with flat white paint and it reflects even better than mylar and is probably cheaper than saving all your bags and less hassle.

i like where your head is at; but at 20 dollars a roll of mylar. it makes more sense just to buy the friggin mylar, instead of 100 bags of 3 dollar chips to cover the same space

Shit, i got some mylar in packaging that is bent in the middle kinda roughed up but i could send it to you for maybe..$10

I'm almost positive those chip bags would cause hot spots

actually they are very close I think flat white is like 95% reflective and mylar is 98%. So not far enough apart to warrant the use of expensive mylar unless you are using chip bags LOL.

no flat white is around 75%- 85% whereas mylar is around 95%+
so as your yield will increase with the reflection off your walls by 30%+ its worth getting mylar if within your budget.

diamond cut mylar is 98% plus gives off no hot spots like most other types of mylar.
