Home Depot Week: Foil-Backed Tape

The first time I saw this stuff, the word, "coool" involuntarily escaped my lips: Aluminum foil. And tape. All mashed together.

Okay, the possibilities for light mods here are pretty much endless. Ringlight internals, beauty dishes, custom macro reflectors -- go nuts. The stuff is pretty cheap, too, depending on how big your project is.

HD has is by the 30' x 1.89" roll for $2.27. Or you can get it here, too. (Scroll down.)

I am curious to see what ideas you might have in store for this. Hit us in the comments.
