I used to foil basement windows on residential jobs for years.  Once I got the
hang of it I liked doing it.

I don't know how reliable the aluminum stuff is.  Someone here (I think) once
said the stuff is too strong -- might just hang off the glass instead of
breaking.  Since I haven't tried the aluminum, I'm not sure if that's true.
You might want to test it out on a piece of scrap glass to be sure before
using it again.
