I'd be careful with that material. Its a high quality bubble wrap -- it
won't tear easily -- but its designed to act like a greenhouse, letting

Air is a pretty good insulator. The insulating properties of your fiberglass

When using the foil/bubble wrap from HomeDepot there is an easy way to join
the edges. Using a straight edge about 1/4 inch in from the edge, cut
through one layer of foil. Then peel back the strip. You will then have
some of the bubble plastic left where you peeled off the strip. Do that

Just food for thought
In the material that I use and that is used in Europe there are no bubbles

It strikes me as quite strange that a person would want to protect a high

For what it's worth: I use the cheap ($1 at $1 store) foam backed
mylar car window visor for my wing covers. Just cut it to shape and duct tape it
together. Seems to work OK...doesn't look the greatest, but seems to keep the
monokote from bubbling up in the sun. Only $1 a wing and a couple o

Trust me it is not the same thing. The foil I have made here and that is made
in Europe will protect your wing to up to 800 degrees within 3" . The
bubble foil at home depot will not protect your wing from heat damage.
The Foil that Rick is talking about is NOT a foil covered bubble wrap.
But
You can get aluminum bubble wrap by the roll at Home Depot or
Lowes. Looks like it would work.
Happy flying,
