  1. scotch tape, glue, velcro, what?

    1st timer here
     
  2. I think ticky tack. Something manipulateable though.
     
  3. wont that create air pockets behind the mylar (=hotspots)????
     
  4. Staple gun...
     
  5. id use it if i had one.. but im on a budget. is there a sufficient way to do something similar, like could i use thumbtacks or pushpins?
     
  6. just use whatever man, just as long as it stays up there. I used ducktape to put it on my cardboard panels.
     
    • Agree Agree x 1
  7. lmao you're on a budget? can't afford a $5 stapler? You got lights? nutes? soil? w/e?

    Electricity isn't cheap, you growing in your parents home? You do realize if something goes wrong they are liable...
     
  8. chill bro, u know what i meant when i said budget....i dont want to go out and get something unless i absolutely have to buy it,.... if i had something at home that would suffice, y not save some mony (more i can spend on nutes)
     
  9. Blow torch.
     
  10. on drywall thumbtacks or push pins are good temp fasteners. If you plan a more permanent install spray mount or other tacky spray would be good.
     
  11. I use 3M Interior Adhesive Spray,not cheap $13 a can.
    It did 2 rooms one is 5x6 and one is 6x6.
    I don't like when the mylar moves when a fan hits it,makes the flowering room[HPS] look like the room is on fire from the way the mylar ripples.
    If you know what i mean?
    The glue keeps the whole deal on the wall and not loose.

     
  12. Nah, no air pockets if you put one every 6 inches to a foot and keep the tack very flat. Depends on what type of surface you are going to attach it to really.
     
  13. I have my mylar stuck to the wall with wall paper paste, I brushed wall paper paste to the wall and papered the wall with mylar. Works a treat.
     
  14. you can use a shower squeegee to make sure its tight against the wall
     
  15. i would say duct tape
     
  16. thats what i ended up using... but the tape was black. so i went out and bought some white duct tape and will be putting that over the black later
