It’s a .5 gallon plastic igloo thing that’s sold everywhere. Now that it’s hot outside, the ice and water melts too soon. I’ve switched to putting only ice but that still melted and stopped being cold too soon.

Is there something I can wrap it in that would be somewhat practical? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Make a slightly oversized "barrel" to put over it with this product. Leave a bit of air space between the jug and the foil. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Reflectix-R-21-50-sq-ft-Unfaced-Reflective-Roll-Insulation-24-in-W-x-25-ft-L/3011904 Use the aluminum tape they sell to put it together.

That's a cool idea.

I've provided a better solution but it seems a nigger rigged solution is what you're intent on. Good luck!

Full disclosure: I was an area rep for the company ~30 years ago. It's a really good product for blocking radiant heat.
