Thanks for all the help, the general opinion is that the magnetic stuff
a rip off but it is worth using reflective foil, so I will send my
daughter to B&Q or Wickes for some, as it for her house!

or just http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p26805 , the middle bit is
redundant.

Yes, sorry - Dialog has an anti-wrap feature so I tend to be lazy and use
that.

Poor wording by me I'm afraid, just meant to point out how toolstation
links _can_ be shortened if you chose to rather than you _should_ have.

I'm not sure that that one has an insulated backing which in my view is
the only one worth using.

It has a thin layer of PE(?) foam on the back.

Excellent, I had considered recommending it to the o/p first time round
but it wasn't clear on the TS description or photo (TS's main weakness
IMV).

Needs a good adhesive and time to dry.

Strong wallpaper paste perhaps with a dob of pva sounds good.

TS does a strong adhesive that I used. The foil is still on after about 18
months.
