Looks like both tape components are sticky sided. The vendor claims the adhesive is easy to remove, but I have reservations.Quote:

I'm still thinking the nails with clamps is the best solution so far.
Leave the peel off backing on it when stapling.Quote:

I was thinking of the handy mans secret weapon, duct tape, for that. I have a thing for RedGreen.Quote:

I’m trying to figure why you are attaching mylar to your house?
What is this stuff exactly? Just mylar? What's the function?Quote:

If I mount mylar, not only will it decrease the heat generated (dark brown paint on the siding), but it will reflect a little more light onto the garden.
Plus, it will make the very few people who see that side of the house wonder.
With polyethylene or even blue tarps, usually the membrane is wrapped around a stick (1x or 2x, whatever) neatly and the stick is then nailed off to the substrate
That's one of the ideas. But I think clamps are more elegant and easier to manage in the fall when I'll take it down. We don't get a lot of wind here.Quote:

Can't see our house from the road, despite that particular advantage.Quote:

Off to YouTube to see if there is any possible fix.

What exactly is meant by someone singing that they will "dust my broom"? How can you dust a broom? Don't you dust with a broom? Is he dusting a broom with another broom?
