Anyone ever use one of these to line your growroom? This is Mylar, right?

Mylar sucks, don't use it. If you want high reflectivity just use flat white paint. It's something like 90% reflective and you don't get hot spots like you do with Mylar.

I already knew about FWP. I was just wondering because these things are so easy to find.

Okay, how am I supposed to paint an open entryway? 
Yes, I could board it up, but then heat would be trapped more.

i have used it and it sucks. cant get it flat, it never stays, it rips, and worst of all it seems to want to stick to you rather than hang peacefully on the wall like you'd think it would at the MOST innoppertune times. plus the light reflection is a thing on paper only by numbers if it isnt absoultly flat, like in outerspace conditions. if you cant paint the wall youd be better off lining it with thin painted wallboard you can remove when needed. mylar sucks, this i know. you cant staple it up , cant tape it effectively, and if you try to sleep in it you will wake up soggy. keep it to baloons and presents for that special someone who has "everything"

Take cardboard and paint it. Or polyvinyl as was said before.
