Default Mylar reflectors

I have a 20 gallon tank with a cheapo light fixture that has a white plastic reflector. I'm planning to line the fixture with 2mm thick mylar. What is the best way to attach the mylar ? Should I use tape or glue ? I'm concerned about melting adhesive or having it catch fire. If this works I may try it on a fixture with an aluminum reflector, but I don't want the reflector to be ruined if I decide to take out the mylar.
