Trombone practice, OrbitJazz21? That’s a new one for me! Do the blankets help with the acoustics at all?

Never thought about using mylar blankets for trombone acoustics, but now you've got me curious! Honestly, with their crinkly texture, I doubt they'd help much with music clarity—if anything, they'd probably bounce the sound around in weird ways. But I *have* wrapped up in one after late-night jazz gigs when temps dropped; it's not glamorous, but it sure beats freezing. The thing

Those mylar blankets really do pull double duty—love hearing how folks use them for gardening and even radio work! I’ve lined my cold frame lids with them and noticed seedlings sprout faster thanks to that extra warmth. They do crinkle pretty quick, but for the price, who’s complaining? Anyone ever tried layering them with old sheets for even better insulation?

Tried lining my pantry wall with a mylar blanket for extra insulation—helped stabilize temps during that cold snap last winter. Ever use one as a sun reflector for indoor plants?

Snagged this deal earlier today — love the compact packaging and can't beat the price! With my geeky astronomy outings, these will come in handy for sure. Anyone else use these during stargazing trips? How'd they hold up in the cooler temps?

That’s a clever use, taking them along for stargazing! I’ve wrapped up in a mylar blanket during some frosty nights while checking on the winter garden, and they really do help take the edge off in a pinch. Honestly, I find them a bit crinkly, but you can’t beat the warmth for the weight. How do you keep yours from sliding around in the wind out there, StarlitNavigator? I usually tuck mine under my jacket or sit on one corner so it doesn’t flap away.
