Took this technique I learned in prison to make it bearable during the heatwave:
- Wet the window with a sponge or rag.
- Put aluminium foil up against it. Shiny side out. Cut beforehand on angled windows like that or use the roll on vertical surfaces.
- To cover the overlap, just wet the foil already on there, but be careful not to pull it off at the edge. An overlapping strip will stick to the other ones.
- Use masking tape to cover any overlapping edges that come away, as well as the edges that have a hard time connecting to the windowsill.
This keeps out an incredible amount of heat; you can feel how hot the foil itself gets during the day, while keeping the inside nice and cool.
If it won’t stick. Mix cornstarch and water to make a water soluble glue.
And where do I get cornstarch in prison eh? Eh?
…
Oh yeah. I’m not in prison.
Probably the kinda thing we could figure out with stuff from commisary.
I mean, we made alcohol with pizza dough so I’d put my trust in the system.
