Quoted from NC_Pin:I am conflicted... I realy want to do this ... I have all of the materials... but I also know that I struggle to put down Mylar without bubbles.
ugh...
It’s not bad. Just cut the pieces precisely and take your time. I never had any bubbling issue. This material is thick enough so it doesn’t bubble. My biggest piece of advise. Go slow and be precise. Good luck!!!
Quoted from jonnyqtrek:I think I had started with five, and even with at least one screw up I still had two full sheets left afterwards, and a bit more. IIRC five was plenty, doable with only three.
I bought 5 sheets as well and had plenty extra left over.
Quoted from tbutler6:When doing this-as mentioned a few times, orientation is “not a preference” its a requirement for the DS9 to work. (Credit to OP)
Edit here:(added) when you hold the DS9 in front of you, tilt it up toward the ceiling and down towards the floor. It should remain a silver-ish color. Turn 90 degrees and do it again…you if it looks “black” when tilted toward the floor and ceiling, this is incorrect. Silver up and down when tilted is what you want.
Also, the double backed plastic is soft, and kinda a one-shot deal when DS9 is applied…However, the DS9 is insanely tough. I ripped a sheet off of plastic because the plastic bubbled and then stuck to itself…I was prepared to sacrifice the DS9 sheet, but it withstood the insane tearing off force without any degradation. Very strong-so i reused it.
You can also hold it up in front of the projector. You will CLEARLY see which orientation is correct. When it’s the correct direction, it’s a crystal clear image.
