Wrapping plastic bin with Alu foil

[Powelly]

Hi Everyone,
What's the best method to line a plastic bin with aluminium foil? It's a DIY grow box

normal contact adhesive .
no need to put adhesive on both sides , just some glue on bin and stick it on

Good morning Powelly (Or is afternoon on that side of earth?),
 
I'd look around for this automotive product, 3M General Purpose 45 Spray Adhesive, or its craft store equivalent for ease of application. Just make sure you clear the residue by turning the can upside down and spraying until no more glue is emitted otherwise it may be plugged the next time you try to use.

Mylar is more reflective than alum foil.

Thanks everyone. I'll definitely be getting some mylar when these seedlings are ready to go into the soil

second on the emergency blankets. works amazingly on a 27 gal black tote in full sun and it never got hot. foil almost cooked my plants.
