Anyone ever tried....

...using solar window tint for periscope faces?

Riffraff posted a thread about vison blocks that got me thinking. Then yesterday I had some solar reflective tint put on some windows in my house. After watching the guy do it, I thought about using the scrap stuff for periscopes.

This stuff is thinner than photographic film but has the bonus of having a water soluble adhesive backing. Just cut it to size, peel off the clear protectice plastic, wet and stick. Tried it on some scrap styrene and it has stuck well and the reflective nature looks great.

The stuff on the windows is supposed to be 'cured' with 3 -4 weeks for general wear and tear, but I think it would be fine on a kit.

The stuff is real cheap too..... I reckon you just need to ask for a sample to hold up against a window to see how it looks, and they will throw a few half A4 size sheets at you. The wonders of a salesman's reaction to a Promising Sale
