Mylar by itself is not conductive, and therefore cannot be a Faraday cage. Some of the bags used to protect electronics have metal shielding in the Mylar. Those may work.

Tealights and mylar. At work we call this scope creep. But at the shooting range, that term means something completely different, and disturbing.
