TOS Extra Crispy? Good photo/scan?

Ready for my BS guess? Take foil tape and emboss it with cheap flourescent light diffuser.

such as..

DM, the scale is way off. Those light diffuser diamonds are WAY bigger than the ones in the extra crispy, and also much less, er... crispy.

Though I'm totally out of my depth, I would guess that the extra crispy used on the phasers is an off the shelf product. I don't think it was something that was modified, but just cut to fit the phaser.

Some snack foods (chips and nuts) and baby formula cans use an inner foil seal that looks like this stuff. That is what I have used when needed.

Ah scale, that would be important.:lol

Carry on my crispy questers.

but PLEASE don't let me dissuade you from contributing!!! Seriously. As I have found with this and many other hunts, it's often the things people say in their "misses" that lead you to some genuine 'hits'.

The very topic of extra crispy came to my head while discussing something else, and now the topic of extra crispy has led me to this pot-smokers foil! which just MIGHT be the thing I need. It's a funny chain of events.

Who knows?

Maybe Wah enjoyed a toke or two.

Stranger things have happened

Looks like we need more pot smokers on this board! (just kidding, of course!) There are TONS of different types of sheet mylar that is used in the "basement growing" industry. All kinds of hocus pocus lore around how it optimizes your lumens, or some such stuff. Hilarious. Still, interesting stuff.

Well, I'm sure we have plenty of pot smokers; what we obviously need is pot growers!!!! lol

What would you need that for, hmmm...?

Looking at the hot house screen, the diamonds point out not in. The little round inset pic shows the backside of the screen, white with very the diamonds very faint. Similar pattern, but not usable as crispy. Outward facing diamonds facilitate the dispersion of light.


There must be something out there, some kind of thin Mylar like material, I've just never seen any. The stuff Wah used on the phasers was most certainly commercially made. But was it a decorative craft item, or made for industrial use? Knowing the original intended use would make the search easier.
