I would suggest white not back to help reduce the heat load, but unless
those windows are large and you get a lot of sun in them, I would not think
they are the only problem, but maybe.

You may not have the same kind of hand the tech had. His was probably

But if your hand isn't good enough, you could make a flag, with a
pencil, a piece or two of Scotch tape, and a paper rectangle.
