Oh, more on foil tape: yes, use something to cover your tape, particularly any hinges. Use paint, foil tape, maybe gaff tape? Anything that will make "shade" and not be too gooey sticky in the sun. Cover your bi-di tape if you think your hexyurt will be long term or multi use. And your hexayurt *should * be multi-use to justify the questionable eco-friendliness of poly-iso.
Foil tape: It's great for sealing the raw panel material. It's cheaper than bidirectional, even cheaper than 3" bidirectional, which I used to recommend for sealing the material. The foil tape holds up well and it looks rather charming on the foil poly-iso. It's UV resistant, etc. I do recommend it for sealing the raw panels. It will probably be sold as "duct tape," but it's *proper duct tape* (according to Mr Camp, the construction guy in Camp Danger), not that gooey grey 'duct/duck tape' stuff with threads running through it. I've talked to goodbuyguys and they'll probably be carrying it....I've seen it at WalMart (evil!) and Home Depot. Standard stuff.
