Step 5Adding the mylar
Completed dish must be made reflective
I did not have enough material to cover the entire dome but who cares?
I cut pieces of mylar to cover the inside of the dish. I glued them on with potato paste.
I used big or small pieces depending on the curve. Smaller in the more curved sections to avoid wrinkles.
I let it dry and then tested it.
I hung a 7 liter pot over it and adjusted the dish until I thought it was pointing at the sun.
Later I put a turkey bag over the pot to conserve heat.
