Hi Craig, I didn't see the comment about the nearly non-existent flammability risk with hexacomb cardboard, but I agree that this seems completely counter-intuitive. We built two hexayurts out of it last year at the burn and it seems every bit as flammable as you'd expect cardboard to be....it is just paper after all....really strong and wonderful paper, but paper nonetheless.
We tried to attach the radiant barrier stuff using spray on adhesive and this did not work at all. We used the barrier stuff that is like bubble wrap with reflective material on the outside so it was heavier than straight mylar would have been. We taped it onto the cardboard in some places, but were saved from having to cover the whole structure when our shade structure finally arrived 3 days late to the playa. We ended up putting two hexacomb hexayurts under a 20'x40' pavillion-like shade structure, and lived happily for the rest of the week. Without the shade structure, I think they would have been about as hot as a tent. Hope this is helpful to you.
