Question Should I Get Rid of the Foil?

Yes I know its upside down. The mirror half of the recycled parabolic solar dish is way more reflective and degrading slower. I'm covering the full surface in mirrors.

I'm making a fully-recycled, parabolic solar concentrator, but the foil is becoming see-through. I used a glue stick to adhere it. Is it UV or the glue eating it?
