make sure it is not the opaque color red.  that is kinda milky looking instead of drying clear.

I bought that red basket wrapping paper I heard mention on here and it makes my light look purple. I don't use it.

Dykem is THE stuff

[Trophiesonly]

i use dj paper,the dykem isnt dark enough i dont think.It will take all the heat you throw at it.And if you dont like it,itcomes off.I couldnt get the dykem off.Even with fingernail polish.

Never tried the dykum but the best red Cellophane I found is to keep the cellophane from the candy you give your loved 1 on Valintines day. It has a nice dark deep red color to it. And your killing 2 birds with 1 stone your making your sweetie happy and getting enough cellophane to cover your lights.

the dj paper is just a hair darker than the dark red valentines paper,the pink paper in a roll is not red enough.

[CoyoteJeff]

TROPHIESONLY  I agree with the roll not being dark enough I tried it and it makes your light look pink to me not red. Can the animals tell I don't know since I didn't use it.

I used the red paper with no problem.  Use 2 layers.
