got a picture of an example?

If you cannot close a towel in the door, then light should not be an issue. If you can, then use towels...close the door and then simply place one on the outside bottom.

tape towels to the inside of the door?

i used weather stripping. but it has to be straight i got the kind that already has sticky stuff on it. works good.

i did the same concept as the blanket. But I stapled black and white poly paper on the inside. Completly covered walls and also stapled into the carpet to make it nice and tight. the only place it leaks light in through the stick on zipper I installed. But thats no issue for me.

i guess im going with weatherstripping , could i find the sticky one at walmart or better off going to homedepot?

yep you can find it at walmart. its in the air conditioning section where im at.

thats the stuff i got.

I had a lot of trouble light-proofing my grow closet door and passive intake vents. I finally decided to light-proof the whole bedroom instead by putting sunblock shading on all the windows (using sticky-back velcro). Now the room stays completely dark, which helps greatly with temperature control.
