Your window covering should work, but the true test comes from installing the window cover, sealing the door, then standing in the darkened room with all lights off for five minutes. During this time, your eyes will have time to adjust to the darkness and you'll be able to see light leaks easily. Attack ones on the window with black masking tape or electricians tape.
For my door, the foam approach didn't work well because the door in the frame a bit too tight for regular use (the darkroom is also a 1/2 bathroom). Instead, I installed a curtain rod over the door (on the inside of the darkroom) and my wife made a heavy black curtain (running from floor to ceiling) that I can cover the door with. This works perfectly for blocking those stray photons. t On 2/7/03 5:35 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi all.
