Stv, can we buy that silver cloth tape in wide pieces somehow? I saw an actor once in an open air theater wearing robes that must have been reflective cloth. When he was hit with a sunlight beam from a large mirror he was BLINDING. I know 3M no longer makes the reflective paint and was told someone else does now, but who?
