Has anybody bought and tried the MLV for sale on Ebay, or does anybody have a guess at the quality of it? Here are links to the 1 lb and 3/4 lb per square foot auctions:

You really want plain MLV for most applications. Reflective faced versions are good for under hood use. The version with the imbedded scrim is for hanging on walls and such. Both will be considerably less flexible than plain MLV. The less expensive grades of MLV tend to be less flexible anyway. I don't know anything about the quality of those particular products. MLV comes in several grades. Since it is almost a commodity, quality tends to follow price very closely.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what he meant by the scrim.
