I've not done it yet, though I have a `117 waiting in the wings as it were.
Try using a bit of a "space blanket".  This is very thin metallized mylar
and is available in both silver and gold. Not a perfect reflector, bright
light tends to shine through.

Somewhat thicker, but more appropriately transparent is to go to your handy
hardware store, where they have thicker metalized mylar to be applied to
house windows.  This stuff is available in silver, gold, bronze and
blarg-smokey.  It has the advantage over a space blanket in that it is
designed to be transparent.  As for attaching it, there is supposedly a
water-soluble/activated adhesive on the back -- there's a peel-off
protected poly<mumble> layer on the back.  (On the other hand, it could
just be air pressure and/or electrostatic forces holding the film to the
window, and the peel-off layer may be just to keep it clean...)

Good luck, no product comes with this guarantee,
Doug
