Hi from Adele and Wayne

We (me) being shy type of people,read more than participate are glad that we are allowed to join,
such a nice group. Yes I know some people from other places but it's great to read the friendly banter.
Admin,
I do not know where or if to just tag this to "Hello it's Happy Hr" or try and fit it in "Hammer & Chisel"
Re pages 8/9 in Hello it's Happy Hr 'window insulation', 2 years ago I brought the Airoshield Retroshield
from bunnings in silver (also came in gold) about 5 mtrs $70 ruffly. What I did was to fold it back on it self
x2 thickness but we had about 10 of those car windscreen blinds laying around so I contact glued them in
between the ( fold it back on it self x2) section. After cutting it to the window shape I then tapped the edges
with Ametalin Insulation Tape 50mm x 50m $13.50 brought 2(todays price). To help it stay against the
window I used the sticky velcro, stitched to the Airshield and thin slices on the windows.
After 80 o/o daily use off on fold put in bag behind seat etc, 2 front 1 driver side they
have lasted extremely well blocking lots of heat (yes must change the rubber windsceen wippers) and
keeping the heat in in winter. Plus blocking the light from exiting the windows. Used of-cut to cover 1/2in
polystyrene sheet for roof hatches. Yes penny pinching but don't have the funds BUT has and still is working.
Hope this helps someone. (sorry so long Admin but need your help to place)
kind regards
Wayne
