When I brought up the issue with Calumet (about 2 years ago) they had
not heard of it and pointed me to Photoflex who made the tent.  I talked
with the designer and he knew about the problem since it had been
reported by other customers.  He knew of no solution at that time.
Apparently they have fixed it??.  Its not a matter of construction but
the material used.  It's transparent to IR due it IR's wavelength.  I
kept the bag rather than return it since I do use other films, the cheap
bag is a pain to use, and Calumet/Photoflex had no solution to the bag
at that time.
