[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1922139, member: 31715"] Thank you that's all I wanted, a simple reason. I'm not trying to complicate it for people, I'm trying to simply help them. The best option is buying a new working reflector, but in the interim aluminum foil will work. And that will be what I will continue to suggest. The only issue you have with it that could be an issue imo is the corrosion of the surface. However, I've been running one so far for 3 months and have not noted any decrease in performance from original. Your point about being flimsy and not holding shape is easily remedied by making the foil a couple layers thick. Replacing aluminum foil reflectors (if necessary) every few months is a lot cheaper and easier than buying a sheet of aluminum that you need to polish every few months. Unless you expect people to coat their own sheets in silicone dioxide. Because simply polishing it with cerium oxide will not protect the surface from corrosion. still not sure how quickly any noticable effects from corrosion take, but I will be monitoring it every month to check output. I'm gonna keep it simple and easy for everyone and continue to recommend aluminum foil over going out and buying, polishing, and protecting a sheet of aluminum. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best solution. Thanks for your input though. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
