The PC latex mix seemed to work great on the containers. It is sticking
very well. The wall temperature has dropped from 140 to 110 with only a
1/4" of stucco. I highly recommend this technique combined with
papercrete blocks on the roof to lower the temperature of these
containers. If you wanted to live in them, I would recommend insulating
with 10"+ of PC. I used 16" in my case and can keep the container
temperature at 90F even only 100F day with no cooling or ventilation.
BTW, if you are curious about your own insulation effectiveness I highly
recommend getting a infrared remote laser thermometer to measure you
wall temperatures. This is a excellent tool for finding hot spots and
cold spots in a given structure.
