Response to lightproof cloth

When I sought something like that for my bathroom window, I was offered the stuff used in x-ray labs. But you know the prices for medical products ... So I tried this (with sucess): I went to a store that sells bulkware cloth and sought out the cheapest black material they had. I put this over my strongest flash and kept adding further layers until I could see the flash no more. Then I added a further layer, calculated how many metres I needed. That was much cheaper than any ready-made solution. So I bought it, sewed the layers together at home, and had (and still have) an affordable solution. It may be bit heavier than one layer of special light-tight tissue, but that doesn't disturb me.
