Reflector material
 

ok after being told that everbright is not available I started looking for new stuff..
what I found is sold as spectral aluminum and it works out to 6.50/square foot. problem is I have to buy a whole sheet if they are going to bring it in. I myself will be using a 3X3 peace and the sheet is 4X10.

so who ever wants some let me know and we can figure this out.

I like to use reflective Mylar, you can usually buy it by the square foot.

what are you using mylar on? it melts when it gets to hot hehe... I was actualy looking at it but even the heat of a PC will soften it if it is to close so I am going with metal as I want the reflector to also be a support.

Steve, it's about 6mm thick and came from Industrial Plastics (i think).
Don't know about grades, it's all they had.

Hey Steve,

I just spewed in another post about reflectors, take a look in "mirrors". You might want to reconsider using mylar. I'm not sure about it's emissivity, but I doubt it's as good as aluminum.

Hope this helps.

I saw that Gord, thanks. I myself am using spectral aluminum but the problem is I have to buy a whole sheet to get it brought in.. I only need a 3x3 chunk out of the 4x10 sheet [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]

so I need to know if all the people who were interested in getting some still want some.

how much are you selling it for steve? and could you bend it for me too? I would like to line the inside of my square hood, but angle the corners at 45° |/````\| kinda like that... the drawing is as detailed as you can get it with a keyboard. haha
