Question:

How do I completely turn off my smoke detector.?

I want to completely disable the smoke detector in my room. There are two buttons on the front. One is labeled push and hold the test weekly and the other one has a green light and says hush

Answer:

It's a very thin plastic sheeting that has at least one side metalized to be shiny and reflective. It's the same stuff those shiny balloons are made from. How it works depends on what you want it for. It has many uses in gardening, like plastic mulch (prevents weeds reflect more light up to plant), animal repellent (strips tied on stakes blow in wind and the flashing scares away animals), greenhouse cover/floor sections (again to reflect more sun where it's needed) and more.
Yes. Stainless steel is very conductive but does not corrode easily, which is why it is lightning rods are often made of stainless steel.
