Painting over sylgard?

glock15 · 08-03-2010, 08:45 PM

I recognize that I need to use as light colored a material as possible, and I am concerned about heat retention but my application is a bit different than most. In that my panel will see very limited use a year, and when it is used it will be in the mountain areas of Utah or Utah’s desert in the cool months. I am building it with an enclosed aluminum back and I am trying to find a backing to keep light from traveling through the front glass and then having it reflect back creating an oven effect
