Maybe just a better brand, the stuff I used was sticky as hell, no way humidity will take it off.

what about Mylar, its a super reflective sheet of plastic, like wraping paper almost, could probably use contact cement or something. or else what about a mirror? I had an old nano cube before that I made a hood for an put a mirror inside, it was bright as hell

i've used mirrored plexi and it worked well, also it was easy to clean the salt creep

Just get some flat aluminum sheet and polish it with Mothers Aluminum polish and one of there powerballs. I just completed a job for the Alberta Hall of Fame and I had to do this to the custom picture pillars i built. You can see yourself in the reflection.

Since youare in richmond, check out Japanese dollar store Diaso in Aberdeen center if you have never been there. I almost bought a splash guard for stove tops..made of cardboard and aluminized sheet. That place is full of unique stuff you will probably think of other DIY stuff.

Also, I think Rustan metals in east vancouver ( up north clark/hastings area) might have aluminum for you. Phone them... I believe they can do custom parts / etc. too.

Lastly, if you ggot some money to do a DIY end cap or holder, check out www.shapeways.com/.. they do 3d printing in stainless or alumide. You can do the 3d model in Sketchup which is free. Parts are relatively cheap.
