Reflectix left overs/scraps

[Angelo R.]

I wanted to make a couple freezer bag cozies for an upcoming trip and was wondering if anyone had any reflectix scraps they could part with. I looked into buying a roll at Home Depot but they only had big rolls and I definitely don't need that much material.

Sorry I don't have any scraps, but have two suggestions:
-Some hardware stores sell it by the foot, so might be worth checking elsewhere (esp. with regional chains)
-Reflectix tape is cheap, a few dollars a roll. You could just coat regular bubblewrap in the Reflectix tape, although this may or may not be heavier (1 layer of foil + adhesive, vs. 2 layers of foil). I used the Reflectix tape to line the inside of CCF pot cozys and it works really well.

If I could find a place that sells it by the foot that would be perfect. I might try some other hardware stores if no one has any scraps they can part with. Thanks for the heads up.

I have a full roll somewhere. I could let some go for shipping and say 3 bucks. If you live near Nashua you could even come by and get it.

For what it's worth- If you soak foam core presentation board the paper comes right off which leaves a pretty decent piece of flexible insulation. It's kind of expensive but if you have left over used pieces the price is right.
